letra de pretty maggie-o - tommy makem

as we marched down through tipperary-o
as we marched down through tipperary-o
our captain stood in awe, ’twas the first time that he
saw
that fair and lovely lady, pretty maggie-o
there are many lovely ladies in this country-o
there are many lovely ladies in this country-o
there are many fresh and fair from belfast to sweet
kenmare
but the fairest of them all is pretty maggie-o
‘will you list in the army pretty maggie-o
will you list in the army pretty maggie-o?
you will have a horse to ride and a captain by your
side
and a whole band of music playing ’round you-o’
‘i never will be a soldiers lady-o
i never will be a soldiers lady-o
i don’t intend to roam from my parents and my home
to marry any soldier in the army-o’
our colonel gave orders not to tarry-o
our colonel gave orders not to tarry-o
our captain’s heart was broke from the words that
maggie spoke
oh, cruel were the words of pretty maggie-o
long ‘ere our troop had reached killarney-o
long ‘ere our troop had reached killarney-o
our captain p-ssed away and we laid him in the clay
he had died for the love of pretty maggie-o
cold are the icy winds of winter-o
cold are the icy winds of winter-o

but colder i declare was the heart of one so fair
a stone for a heart had pretty maggie-o

extra verses:
will you list in the army pretty maggie-o
will you list in the army pretty maggie-o
i ne’er intend to roam far away from mother’s home
for to wed with a private in the army-o
indeed and i’m no private pretty maggie-o
indeed and i’m no private pretty maggie-o
i could make a private stand with his sword or gun in
hand
in the presence of his colonel in the army-o
what would you mother think pretty maggie-o?
what would you mother think pretty maggie-o?
what would you mother think if she heard the jungle
jink
and a whole band of music playing ’round you -o
i gave you my answer six months, aye ago
i gave you my answer six months, aye ago
for i ne’er intend to roam far away from mother’s home
for to wed with a private in the army-o
will you come downstairs pretty maggy-o?
will you come downstairs pretty maggy-o?
come downstairs, comb back your yellow hair
take the last farewell of your mammy-o
will you come downstairs pretty maggy-o?
will you come downstairs pretty maggy-o?
you will have a horse to ride and a captain by your
side
and a whole band of music playing ’round you-o
