4 4 5 5 6 -5 -4
When first I saw sweet Peg-gy,
-3 4 5 6 6 6
‘Twas on a mar-ket day;
5 -5 -5 -4 -4 5 5 4
A low-back car she drove, and sat
5 -5 -4 4 -3 4
Up-on a truss of hay;
4 4 -5 -5 -6 -6 6 6
But when that hay was bloom-ing grass,
4 4 -5 -5 -6 6
And deck’d with flow’rs of Spring,
4 4 7 7 -6-6 -6 6 6 -5
No flow’r was there that could com-pare
5 5 -4 4 -4 5 6…
To the bloom-ing girl I sing.

As she sat in her low-back’d car,
5 -4 4 -3” -4 -4 -4
The man at the turn-pike bar
5 -5 6 -5 5 6
Nev-er ask’d for the toll,
-5 5 7 -7 -6 6…
But just rubb’d his auld poll
5 -4 4 -3” 3 4 4 4
And look’d af-ter the low-back’d car.
