The Bonnie Lass O'Fyvie
There once was a troop of Irish Dragoons Came marchin' down through Fyvie-o, And their captain fell in love with a very bonnie lass, An' her name it was called pretty Peggy-o.
Chorus: So ''Come ye down the stairs, pretty Peggy, my dear, Oh come ye down the stairs, pretty Peggy-o, Oh come ye down the stairs, come back your yellow hair, With a fine farewell to your daddy-o.''
No there's many a bonnie lass in Howe o' Auchterless, There's many a bonnie lass in the Garioch-o. And there's many a bonnie Jean in the town o' Aberdeen, But the floo'er o' them all is in Fyvie-o
''For it's I that gave ye ribbons for your bonny golden hair, I'll give ye a necklace of amber-o, I'll give ye silken petticoats with flounces to the knee, If ye'll convoy me doon tae my chamber-o.''

''What would your mammy think if she heard the guineas clink, An' the autboyss a playn' before you-o? What would your mammy think when she heard the guineas clink, An' kent you had married a soldier-o.''
''Oh a soldier's wife I never shall be, A soldier shall never enjoy me-o. For I never do intend to go to a foreign land, So I never shall marry a soldier-o.''
''A soldier's wife ye never shall be, For ye'll be the captain's lady-o. And the regiments shall stand with their hats intea their hands, And they'll bow in the presence of my Peggy-o.''
