Peggy

from Oh, I by The Blue Buzz

lyrics

Peggy was just fifteen years old
Everyday she woke with the rising sun..
She’s got to pick a bale of cotton fore the sun goes down
She sings her sorrowful songs in the fields
In the sun
The mean ol’ big boss man says:
“You’ve got pick another bale of cotton fore the sun goes down”
And in the night she walks down her lonely road to the river
She meets me and i say:
“It’s alright,
It’s alright,
Take it easy,
Peggy

You can go down to the city
Drink all your sorrows away
But it won’t do you no good
Sing your beautiful songs and it’ll be

Alright,
Take it easy,
And ride along with me,
Peggy

It’s alright,
It’s alright,
Take it easy,
Peggy”

Out in the fields they all stand and sing:
“We shall overcome someday”
Peggy knows only three chords
But it’s just about enough for her
She strums her chords with such a beautiful melody
And when she goes down to meet me at the river
I teach her a couple of tricks
And together we sing:
“It’s alright,
It’s alright,
Take it easy,
Peggy

You can go down to the city
Drink all your sorrows away
But it won’t do you no good
Sing your beautiful songs and it’ll be

Alright,
Take it easy,
And ride along with me,
Peggy

It’s alright,
It’s alright,
Take it easy,
Peggy”
