Maid Of Fife - The Clancy Brothers

There once was a troop of Irish dragoons

Come marching down thru Fyfie o

And the captain feel in love with a very bonnie lass

And the name she was called was pretty Peggy o

There's many a bonnie lass in the glen of Auchterlass

There's many a bonnie lass in the Gairioch o

There's many a bonnie Jean in the streets of Aberdeen

But the flower of them all lives in Fyvie o

Come down the stairs Pretty Peggy my dear

Come down the stairs Pretty Peggy o

Come down the stairs comb back your yellow hair

Bid a long farewell to your mammy o

I never did intend a soldier's lady for to be

I never will marry a soldier o

I never did intend to gae tae a foreign land

And I never will marry a soldier o

The colonel he cried mount boys mount boys mount

The captain he cried tarry o

O tarry yet a while another day or twa

Till I see if the bonnie lass will marry o

Well long ere we came to the glen of Auchterlass

Our captain we had to take carry o

And long ere we came to the streets of Aberdeen

Our captain we had to take bury o

Green grow the birks on bonnie Ethanside

And low lie the lowlands of Fyvie o

The captain's name was Ned and he died for a maid

He died for the bonny lass of Fyvie o

There's many a bonnie lass in the glen of Auchterlass

There's many a bonnie lass in the Gairioch o

There's many a bonnie Jean in the streets of Aberdeen

But the flower of them all lives in Fyvie o
