Well,there once was troop o' Irish dragoons
Cam' marchin' doon through Fyvie O
Captain's fa'en in love wi' anither bonnie quine
Oh the name that she had was pretty Peggy O
"Oh come runnin' doon yer stairs,pretty Peggy,my dear
Come runnin'doon yer stairs,pretty Peggy O
Come runnin' doon yer stairs,tie back yer yellow hair
Tak' a last fareweel tae yer daddie O
Now the colonel,he cried,
"Mount,boys,mount,boys,mount"
Oh the captain,he cried,"Tarry O
Tarry for a while,for anither day or twa
Just tae see if this bonnie lass will marry O
Long ere we came to Old meldrum toon
We had our captain to carry-o
And long ere we won into the streets of Aberdeen
We had our captain to bury-o
Well,there's mony's a bonnie lassie in the howe o Auchterless
There's mony's a bonnie dame in the gearie O
There's mony's a bonnie Jean in the toon o' Aberdeen
But the flo'er o' them a' bides in FyvieO
Well,it's green grow the birks on bonnie Ythan side
An' low lie the Lowlands o' Fyvie O
The captain's name was Ned,an' he died for a maid
Oh he died for the sodger lass o' Fyvie O
