Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Any where, any time
And I'll put you wise how you'll recognize
This wonderful girl of mine
If her eyes are blue as skies, that's Peggy O'Neil
If she's smiling all the while, that's Peggy O'Neil
If she walks like a sly little rogue
Sweet personality full of rascality
That's Peggy O'Neil
Every thing's planned for a wedding so grand
In the spring I will bring her the ring
Then somewhere in town we'll both settle down
And all through the day I'll sing
If her eyes are blue as skies, that's Peggy O'Neil
If she's smiling all the while, that's Peggy O'Neil
If she walks like a sly little rogue
If she talks with a cute little brogue
Sweet personality full of rascality
That's Peggy O'Neil
