[C] [F] [G7] [C] [F] [C] [G7] [C] [F] [C]
[C] There once was a troop o' Irish dragoons,
[F] Cam marching doon through [G7] Fyvie-o.
And the [C] captain's fa'en in love wi' a [F] very bonnie lass,
And her [C] name it is [G7] cried, "pretty [C] Peg-[F]gy-[C]o ".
[C] There's many a bonnie lass in the howe o' Auchterless.
[F] There's many a bonnie lass in the [G7] Garioch-o.
There's [C] many a bonnie Jean in the [F] streets o' Aiberdeen,
But the [C] floower o' them [G7] aw lies in [C] Fy-[F]vie-[C]o.
[C] O' come doon the stair, pretty Peggy, my dear,
[F] Come doon the stair, pretty [G7] Peggy-o.
[C] Come doon the stair, bind [F] up your yellow hair,
Tak a [C] last fare-[G7] weell o' your [C] dad-[F]dy-[C]o.
[C] Then up cries the colonel, "mount, boys, mount!",
[F] "Tarry!" says the captain, "O-[G7] tarry-o!".
O-[C] tarry for a while, for a-[F] nother day or twa,
Til I [C] see if this [G7] bonnie lass will [C] mar-[F]ry-[C]o.
[C] Twas in the early morning, when we marched awa,
[F] O' but the captain was [G7] sorry-o.
The [C] drums they did beat o'er the [F] bonnie braes o' Gight,
The [C] pipes played the [G7] lowlands of [C] Fy-[F]vie-[C]o.
[C] Alang 'ere we come tae auld Meldrum toon,
[F] We had our captain to [G7] carry-o.
A-[C] lang 'ere we come, to [F] bonnie Aiberdeen,
We [C] had our [G7] captain to [C] bu-[F]ry-[C]o.
[C] Green grow the birks on bonnie Ythanside,
[F] Low lie the lowlands of [G7] Fyvie-o.
The [C] captain's name was Ned and he [F] died for a maid,
He [C] died for the [G7] chambermaid of [C] Fy-[F]vie-[C]o.
[C] I never did intend a soldier's lady for to be,
[F] I never will marry a [G7] soldier-o.
I [C] never did intend to gae [F] tae a foreign land,
And I [C] never will [G7] marry a [C] sol-[F]dier-[C]o.
[C] It's braw, aye it's braw, a captain's lady for to be,
[F] Braw to be a captain's [G7] lady-o.
[C] Braw to rant and roam, to [F] follow at his word,
And [C] ride when your [G7] captain he is [C] rea-[F]dy-[C]o.
[C] [F] [G7] [C] [F] [C] [G7] [C] [F] [C] .
