Young Peggy Lyrics - Singles - Seeger Peggy

YOUNG PEGGY 

Whaur hae ye been, Peggy 

Whaur hae ye been? 

In the garden 'mong the gillyflooers 

'Tween the hours o' twelve and ane 

Ye were nae yoursel', Peggy 

No' there your lane 

Your faither saw ye in Jamie's arms 

'Tween the hours o' twelve and ane 

Whit though we were seen, mither 

Though we were seen? 

I would sleep in Jamie's airms 

Though his grave was growing green 

Your Jamie's a rogue, Peggy 

Your Jamie's a loon 

For the trysting o' oor ae dochter 

And her sae very young 

Jamie's noo tae blame, mither 

The blame lies on me 

For I wad sleep in Jamie's airms 

Though a' the world should dee 

She's gane tae her ain chaulmer 

Jamie was there 

I'm blithe tae see ye, Jamie dear 

Though we maun meet nae mair 

We'll tak' a pairtin' glass, laddie 

Pour oot the wine 

And since we maun meet nae mair, my love 

We'll drink your health and mine 

Tak' me in your airms, laddie 

Here's kisses five 

And since we maun meet nae mair, my love 

We'll drink weel may we thrive 

Come tae my airms, lassie 

Close tae me hairt 

And as lang's the sun hangs i' the lift 

I swear we'll niver part 

Your faither keeps a crawin' cock 

Divides nicht frae day 

And in the middle watch o' the nicht 

In greenwood ye'll meet me 

When mass was sung and bell were rung 

And a' bound for bed 

She's kilted up her gay clothing 

Met Jamie in the wood 

'Twas early in the morning 

The clock chappit twa 

Her faither rose up in his bed 

Cryin' Peggy, she's awa 

They've mounted their horses 

And fast they did rin 

But lang e'er they wan tae the tap o' the hill 

The lad and lass were ane 

Child #298
