[VERSE 1]
[G]There once was a troop o' Irish dragoons,
Cam marching doon through [D]Fyvie-o.
And the [G]captain's fa'en in love wi' a [C]very bonnie lass,
And her [G]name it is [D]cried, "pretty [G]Pegg[C]y-[G]o".

[VERSE 2]
[G]There's many a bonnie lass in the howe o' Auchterless.
There's many a bonnie lass in the [D]Garioch.
There's [G]many a bonnie Jean in the [C]streets o' Aiberdeen,
But the [G]floower o' them [D]aw lies in [G]Fyvi[C]e-[G]o.

[VERSE 3]
[G]O' come doon the stair, pretty Peggy, my dear,
Come doon the stair, pretty [D]Peggy-o.
[G]Come doon the stair, bind [C]up your yellow hair,
Tak a [G]last fare[D]weell o' your [G]dadd[C]y-[G]o.

[VERSE 4]
[G]Then up cries the colonel, "mount, boys, mount!",
"Tarry!" says the captain, "O-[D]tarry-o!".
O-[G]tarry for a while, for [C]another day or twa,
Til I [G]see if this [D]bonnie lass will [G]marr[C]y-[G]o.

[VERSE 5]
[G]Twas in the early morning, when we marched awa,
O' but the captain was [D]sorry-o.
The [G]drums they did beat o'er the [C]bonnie braes o' Gight,
The [G]pipes played the [D]lowlands of [G]Fyvi[C]e-[G]o.

[VERSE 6]
[G]Alang 'ere we come tae auld Meldrum toon,
We had our captain to [D]carry-o.
A[G]lang 'ere we come, to [C]bonnie Aiberdeen,
We [G]had our [D]captain to [G]bur[C]y-[G]o.

[VERSE 7]
[G]Green grow the birks on bonnie Ythanside,
Low lie the lowlands of [D]Fyvie-o.
The [G]captain's name was Ned and he [C]died for a maid,
He [G]died for the [D]chambermaid of [G]Fyvi[C]e-[G]o.

[VERSE 8]
[G]I never did intend a soldier's lady for to be,
I never will marry a [D]soldier-o.
I [G]never did intend to gae [C]tae a foreign land,
And I [G]never will [D]marry a [G]soldi[C]er-[G]o.

[VERSE 9]
[G]It's braw, aye it's braw, a captain's lady for to be,
Braw to be a captain's [D]lady-o.
Br[G]aw to rant and roam, to [C]follow at his word,
And [G]ride when your [D]captain he is [G]read[C]y-[G]o.
