Oh, my heart's in a whirl over one little girl
I love her, I love her, yes, I do
Although her heart is far away
I hope to make her mine some day
Ev'ry beautiful rose, ev'ry violet knows
I love her, I love her fond and true
And her heart fondly sighs, as I sing to her eyes
Her eyes of blue, sweet eyes of blue, my darling
Peg o' my Heart, I love you
We'll never part, I love you
Dear little girl, sweet little girl
Sweeter than the Rose of Erin
Are your winning smiles endearin'
Peg o' my Heart, your glances
With Irish art entrance us
Come, be my own, come, make your home in my heart
When your heart's full of fears
And your eyes full of tears
I'll kiss them, I'll kiss them all away
For, like the gold that's in your hair
Is all the love for you I bear
Oh, believe in me, do
I'm as lonesome as you
I miss you, I miss you all the day
Let the light of live shine from your eyes into mine
And shine for aye, sweetheart for aye, my darling
Peg o' my Heart, I love you
We'll never part, I love you
Dear little girl, sweet little girl
Sweeter than the Rose of Erin
Are your winning smiles endearin'
Peg o' my Heart, your glances
With Irish art entrance us
Come, be my own, come, make your home in my heart

As recorded by BUDDY CLARK:
My darling, Peg o` my heart, I love you
Don`t let us part, I love you
I always knew it would be you
Since I heard your lilting laughter
It`s your Irish heart I`m after
Peg o` my heart, your glances
Make my heart say, "How`s chances?"
Come be my own
Come make your home in my heart
(Orchestral Break)
Peg o' my heart, I love you
We'll never part, I love you
Dear little girl, sweet little girl
Sweeter than the Rose of Erin
Ah, your winning smile's endearin'
Peg o' my heart, your glances
With Irish art entrances
Come be my own
Come make your home in my heart
There's lots of room for Peg
Sweet little Peg o' my heart
