Pretty Peggy - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
PRETTY PEGGY. 
To my darling I will always prove true, And look on her with a smile of love; Like a sunbeam she is beautiful and bright, With eyes like the little stars above. 
Chorus. She's the fairest In all creation, Pretty Peggy, charming creature; Pretty Peggy, darling loved one, Ah! she's like a little bird in the Spring. 
When you're in her company for a while. Just look at her curly jet black hair; Her face is always brightened with a smile, Faith! none with my jewel can compare.-Chorus. 
The day is coming when I'll wed this pearl, The thought of it cheers me on my way; The bells will ring, and the colleens will sing, When she names the happy wedding day.-Chorus.
