Thread Name: Peggy Gordon: where is Ingo?
Subject: RE: Peggy Gordon: where is Ingo?
this is the words from their songboook The Corries complete and it can found on page 53.

oh Peggy Gordon you are my darling
come sit ye doon upon my knee
and tell tae me the very reason
why I am slighted by thee

I am in love I cannot deny it
my heart is troubled in my breast
it's not for you to let the world know it
a troubled heart can find no rest

I put my head to a cask of brandy
it was my fancy for to do
for when I'm drinking I'm seldom thinking
and wishing Peggy Gordon was here

I wish I was away in Ingol
far across the bringy sea
sailing over the deepest ocean
where love and care ne'er bother me

I wish I was in a lonely valley
where womankind cannot be found
where all the small birds they change their voices
and every moment a different sound
