Noel McLoughlin - The Bonnie La** O Fyvie lyrics

There once was a troop o' Irish dragoons Cam marching doon through Fyvie-o And the captains fall in love wi' a very bonnie la** And her name it was cad pretty Peggy-o O come doon the stairs, Pretty Peggy, my dear Come doon the stairs, Pretty Peggy-o Come doon the stairs, comb back your yellow hair Bid a long farewell to your daddy-o There's many a bonnie la** in the Howe o Auchterless There's many a bonnie la** in the Garioch There's many a bonnie Jean in the streets of Aiberdeen But the floor o' them aw lyes in Fyvie-o O come doon the stairs, Pretty Peggy, my dear Come doon the stairs, Pretty Peggy-o Come doon the stairs, comb back your yellow hair Bid a long farewell to your daddy-o O I'll give you ribbons, love, and I'll give you rings I'll give you a necklace of amber-o I'll give you a silken petticoat with flounces to the knee If you'll convey me doon to your chamber-o What would your mother think if she heard the guineas clink And saw the haut-boys marching all before you o O little would she think gin she heard the guineas clink If I followed a soldier laddie-o O come doon the stairs, Pretty Peggy, my dear Come doon the stairs, Pretty Peggy-o Come doon the stairs, comb back your yellow hair Bid a long farewell to your daddy-o I never did intend a soldier's lady for to be A soldier shall never enjoy me-o I never did intend to gae tae a foreign land And I never will marry a soldier-o
