THE DAUGHTER OF PEGGY. O

I There was a little man came from the West
Fol de rol de rol de rol de ri-ge-O
He married a wife, she was none of the best,
She was the driggle, draggle daughter of Peggy, O. ^

2 She wouldn't card, she wouldn't spin,
Fol de rol, etc.
She wouldn't work all in the kitchen,
She was the driggle, draggle daughter of Peggy, O.

3 She wouldn't bake, she wouldn't brew, etc.
She wouldn't make her black look blue, etc.

4 When this good man came home from plough,
He says, 'My dear is the dinner ready now?'

5 She said, 'No, no, I won't be your drudge,
You'll get some other one to be your drudge,'

6 And this good man pulled his coat from his back
And made his stick go widgy, widgy whack.

7 'O I will card and I will spin,
And I will work all in the kitchen,'

8 'I will bake and I will brew,
And I will make my black look blue.'

9 'And if that won't do what I say now,
I'll take the whip and go to plough.'
