Track Description
Available in:
"Peggy Gordon" is a Canadian folk song that has become popular in many English-speaking countries. As a folk song it was first collected in the 1950s and 1960s in Canada, mainly in Nova Scotia. Versions of this song, in the form of a vaudeville song, were published in New York from 1880. The song tells a story of a man who is madly in love with a woman of this name and how he longs to be with her.
It has been recorded by many artists. One of the first commercial recordings was by Canadian folk singer Alan Mills in 1959 on the album Canadian Folksong. It was recorded by Charles Jordan on the 9-LP set Canadian Folk songs, A Centennial Collection in 1966, issued in 1967. Also around this time it was recorded by Toronto folk singer Bonnie Dobson.
The song was featured in the film The Proposition, sung by one of the Irish convicts.
The Melvins cover of the song on their 2010 album, The Bride Screamed Murder, was described as "a serenely bizarre version of the Canadian folk song"
