Burl Ives - Peter Grey

Once  on a time there lived a man, 
His  name was  Peter  Gray; 
He lived way down in that there town
Called   Penn-syl-va-ni- a. 

Chorus:

Blow ye winds of morning, 
Blow ye winds heigh- o, 
Blow ye winds of morning, 
Blow,  blow,  blow. 

Now Peter fell in love all with
A  nice  young girl,
The first two letters of her name
Were Lucy, Annie, Pearl.

Just as  they were gwine to wed
Her father did say no;
And quin-ci-cont-ly she was sent
Beyond the Oh-i-o.

When Peter heard his love was lost,
He knew not what to say,
He'd half a mind to jump into
The Susquehan-i-a.

But he  went traveling to the west
For furs and other skins;
Till he was caught and scal-pi-ed
By blood-i In-ji-ins.

When Lucy-Annie heard the news,
She straightway took to bed,
And never did get up again
Until she di-i-ed.

You fathers all a warning take,
Each one as has a girl;
And think upon poor Peter Gray
And Lucy, Annie, Pearl.
