lirik lagu the maid of fife-e-o – tommy makem

there once was a troop of irish dragoons
come marching down through fife-e-o
and the captain fell in love with a very bonny l-ss
and her name it was called pretty peggy-o
there’s many a bonny l-ss in the town of augherl-ss
there’s many a bonny l-ssie in the jeery-o
there’s many a bonny jean in the streets of aberdeen
but the flower of them all is in fife-e-o
‘oh, come down the stairs pretty peggy my dear
oh, come down the stairs pretty peggy-o
oh, come down the stairs, comb back your yellow hair
bid a long farewell to your mammy-o’
‘oh, i’ll give you ribbons love and i’ll give you gold
i’ll give you a necklace of amber-o
and i’ll give you petticoats wi’ flounces to your knees

if you will convey me to your chamber-o’
the colonel he cried ‘mount, mount boys mount’
the captain he cried ‘tarry-o
oh tarry for a while, for another day or twa’
’till i see if this bonny l-ss will marry-o’
‘i never did intend a soldier’s lady for to be
i never will marry a soldier-o
i never did intend to gang to a foreign land
and i never will marry a soldier-o’
long ‘ere we came to the town of augerl-ss
we had our captain to carry-o
and long ‘ere we reached the streets of aberdeen
we had our captain to bury-o
green grow the birks on bonny eithan side
and low lie the lowlands of fife-e-o
oh, the captain’s name was ned and he died for a maid
he died for the chambermaid of fife-e-o
