One giant "Peggy-O"
Where did the song "Peggy-O" come from?
Aaron: The Bonnie Lass o' Fyvie is a traditional Scottish folk song about a thwarted romance between a soldier and a girl. There is no strict version of the lyrics and the song has multiple variants including Handoms Polly-O, Peggy-O, Fennario, and The Maid of Fife. The Americanized variant is usually called “Peggy-O”.
Thank you Jerry Garcia!
