Buddy Holly - Peggy Sue Lyrics






If you knew Peggy Sue
Then you'd know why I feel blue
Without Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh well, I love you, gal
Yes, I love you Peggy Sue

Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue
Oh, how my heart yearns for you
Oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh well, I love you, gal
Yes, I love you Peggy Sue

Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, Peggy Sue
Oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh well, I love you, gal
And I need you, Peggy Sue

I love you, Peggy Sue
With a love so rare and true
Oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Well, I love you, gal
And I want you, Peggy Sue

Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue,
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, Peggy Sue
Oh, Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh well, I love you, gal
Yes, I need you, Peggy Sue

I love you, Peggy Sue
With a love so rare and true
Oh Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh well, I love you, gal
And I want you, Peggy Sue

Oh well, I love you gal
And I want you Peggy Sue

Buddy Holly Peggy Sue Comments
  1. V.... L....

    Very unique drum bass line

  2. K.... ....

    Still just fucking great....lol...classics nvr die

  3. g.... ....

    Persoonlijk vond ik hem altijd beter als Elvis Presley, z,n tijdgenoot(wel te verstaan dat Elvis ook hele goede nummers had The King of Rock,n Roll) G Ruiter (bolsward) Friesland The Netherlands

  4. F.... D....

    The Young Ones always springs to mind when i hear this as in the episode 'Oil' Buddy Holly drops in upside down to Mike [The Cool Person] in his new bedroom ... 'I just love your English Beatles!'

  5. J.... T....

    61 years ago. Rest in peace Buddy

  6. j.... ....

    The guitar solo alone in this song is real rock n roll

  7. B.... H....

    The music is good, and so are the vocals, but I’ve seen better lyrics written on bathroom stall walls. It’s just repetitive bullshit

  8. C.... G....

    That great sound that invented punk rock band like the Ramones

  9. M.... S....

    I'm crying whilst listening to this. My grandparents have a dog called Peggy Sue (They named her after this song), and i'm not allowed to see her again all because my granddad disowned me because i'm autistic. So i'm listening to this song because it reminds me of Peggy. I miss her.

  10. r.... r....

    Norman Petty had nothing to do with the writing of Peggy Sue. He put his name on the label simply to collect song writing royalties.

  11. J.... M....

    R.I.P. Kobe & Gigi Bryant.

  12. E.... T....

    🎶I feel blue without my veggie soup🎶

  13. E.... H....

    Listen to this on 2×! LMAO!!!

  14. Y.... P....

    I had a dog named piggy for practically my whole life, I would always sing her this song but instead of Peggy I would say” piggy sue” and she would wag her whole body since she didn’t have a tail it was shaped like a pigs tail which is why her name was piggy but anyway she would always be so happy when I would sing her this. it’s been 3 months since she’s passed and now I just cry my eyes out when I listen to this cause it reminds me of her ):

  15. j.... g....

    Who ever disliked this your a spit whad

  16. j.... r....

    Well I started my new years off right by chanting the lyrics over and over again semi drunk with my friend. Good times

    j.... r....

    Hell yeah, same

  17. G.... W....

    Why does this have over 100 dislikes

  18. T.... P....

    Nikki Sullivan had to sit next to Buddy while recording and then hit the pickup switch on Buddy's Strat for the solo part.

  19. P.... S....

    I was named after this song. Daddy used to strum his guitar and sing this to me while he was alive. He died when I was 12. Still one of my fondest memories. Thank You Daddy!

    P.... S....

    I named my daughter Peggy Sue after this song

    P.... S....

    I'm so sorry 💔

  20. J.... M....

    Must have glasses

  21. G.... L....

    Who are the 104 mopes who disliked this classic?

    G.... L....

    Morons who thinks that Rap and trap are real music

  22. f.... l....

    JUST WATCHED BUDDY HOLLY RAVE ON WHAT A DOCO ITS A MUST WATCH

  23. f.... l....

    Love the Drumming its great

  24. O.... '....

    Who's from Follet's "Hammer Of Eden"?

  25. C.... S....

    Buddy Holly and the Crickets.. The Crickets inspired the name the Beatles. Buddy Holly was so ahead of his time that I hear him even in some Punk and New Wave bands he is still one of the most relevant people from that era even today. He's right up there with some of my favorite bands like Muse Rush Tool too many to list from the sixties and seventies

    C.... S....

    Rush's first single? Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away."

  26. D.... H....

    Meet my barrister lol xx my Peggy sue xx

  27. R.... A....

    My dad loved him

  28. H.... K....

    My female guinea pig named Peggy unfortunately died yesterday, Saturday 13th December 2019 from cancer and old age.
    May she R.I.P 😭😇

  29. T.... L....

    Almost Famous though lol
    AH PEGGY SUE PEGGY SUE PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY PEGGY SUE 😂

  30. B.... A....

    If only poor ol Buddy holly could have known people would still be listening to him 60 years after his dezth....

  31. J.... M....

    The Dems' Theme Song Should Be Peggy Sue By Buddy Holly.

    Why?

    Because The Dems Are Like A Plane Crash. A Real Train Wreck.

    J.... M....

    Democrats are scum of the earth

  32. A.... F....

    Quantum Leap: Season 1 episode 5 bought me here🤗

    A.... F....

    Andrell F same!

    A.... F....

    Quantum leap episode buddy Holly was Sam Beckett's son

    A.... F....

    Dakota Guthrie wow, cool!

  33. D.... ....

    He, Big Bopper and Richie Valens were rock-and-roll's first tragedy.

  34. H.... I....

    still sounds badass

  35. D.... ....

    Buddy Holly played with the Crickets back in the 50s at High School to perform their music "Peggy Sue"

  36. N.... P....

    What a way to go! RIP Guys.😣😔😣🙏🙏🙏

  37. O.... ....

    If Buddy and Eddie Cochrane had've lived, the British 'invasion' never would have happened.

  38. T.... H....

    Love this song reminds me of my grandma (Mom) her name was Peggy! Sure do miss her! Always 1 in my eyes!

  39. T.... C....

    One of the most incredible songs of all time😲

  40. D.... ....

    On February 3, 1959, "The Day the Music Died", it was very sad when Buddy Holly and the cast were killed in a Plane Crash in Clear Lake, Iowa, because they were meant to arrive to Moorhead, Minnesota, which is there next concert. Very Sad.
    Rest in Peace, Buddy Holly (September 7, 1936 - February 3, 1959) at the age of 22

  41. J.... B....

    One of the greatest rock songs of all time

  42. D.... B....

    Beatles were the 60s “one direction”

  43. S.... C....

    I love this song 🎶 and I did not just here this song

  44. j.... E....

    greatest gutar solo of all time starts at 1:23

    j.... E....

    Yeah right, boomer

  45. L.... H....

    Quantum leap

  46. r.... ....

    Buddy was a bonafide piece of dogshit

  47. c.... d....

    I though Everyday was a Beatles Song.

  48. D.... G....

    Sounds so gay

  49. C.... E....

    And she wrote in my yearbook I love you Peggy Sue😅😂🤣😄🙂😃😎🦄🦄

  50. J.... J....

    Most people choose Not Fade Away or Rave On as the best Buddy Holly song but to me Peggy Sue is much better.

  51. S.... R....

    Das wahren noch schöne Zeiten mega mega

  52. A.... S....

    Fun fact did you know it was supposed to be Cindy Lou supposedly his niece 🤔🤔🤔

  53. W.... H....

    Never forgotten

  54. m.... g....

    BELIVE IT OR NOT THE DRUM WORK IS DONE WITH ONLY 1 DRUM .It sounds like more thanks to Petty putting it through the mixer as he saw fit to make the song.

    m.... g....

    It was always common knowledge that the drum sound was created by playing on a kitchen chair..the leather padded sort..

  55. K.... N....

    This song is PERFECT and catchy‼️👌💖

  56. D.... o....

    I played this for my four year old niece, she rolled her eyes and asked for the Jonas Brothers...the Jonas Brothers.

    D.... o....

    You expected a four year old to appreciate this? I wouldn't be shocked if she wasn't interested. Generation gaps exist, don't shame her for liking what she likes now. Who knows? When she's older, she might come to appreciate it more.

  57. M.... P....

    I can just hear that guitar pick plastic clicking as Buddy strums down, down, down on those strings... I love how raw this whole thing is, Legendary..

  58. G.... D....

    my mom was almost named "Peggy Sue" because she was born around the time this song was popular.

  59. S.... B....

    This song is pure teenage energy. :D Loved it since I was one.

  60. K.... ....

    Elvis wouldnt have been the biggest im sorry.

  61. T.... L....

    I think without this guy not much music we would be hearing this guy can make you get up and dance

  62. B.... T....

    RIP Buddy...if only you had lived... the magical music you would have made would have been incredible.

  63. J.... K....

    Without buddy Holly there would be no Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones ,bob dylan , the beatles, and Elton John. Buddy Holly was one of first in the rock and Roll Hall of Fame

  70. J.... s....

    did you know this song was supposed to be Mary Lou

    J.... s....

    Yeah he was actually writing it for his niece until the drummer begged him to change it to Peggy sue, cuz that was the name of the girl he was seeing.....

    And it worked, cuz they ended up getting married.. she actually died just last October or November..

  71. K.... S....

    Drops an F right in the middle of an E blues on that pretty, pretty ,pretty.. part. Always thought that was cool.

  95. v.... ....

    I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride, something touched me... .

    v.... ....

    Deep inside, the day... The music... Died.

    v.... ....

    vichy 76...I was 14 yrs old ,,late for school,hand on the school door handle ,just about to rush in,when my friend ,also late,came behind me,shouting,Billy,It was on the telly news,Buddy Holly has been killed in a plane crash...I remember vividly...my hand freezing onto the door handle in disbelief..I couldn't concentrate on any lessons that day..all I thought about was Buddy,and even at age 14 yrs,my heart went out to Buddy's Widow...I was holding tears back all that day.
    In those days,in the north-east of England,UK,in Northumberland,only the well-off folk had television,it was in it's infancy up here,and my parents couldn't afford one,so my friend Peter was the one who broke that sad sad news to me in such a devastating way.
    My older Brother was born on the same day as me,but three years earlier!..and HE used to play "AIR" guitar to Buddy, Eddie ochran,Chuck Berry,etc,LONG before the phrase was coined!!
    I used to drum on a chair to Peggy Sue,as we read in the music press..[New Musical Express"],that THAT was how it was played in the studio..mind,that music mag was responsible for a lot of fake reporting in those days!..I know by personal experiences!
    Please correct me if I am wrong on the chair bit!

  96. L.... R....

    I LOVE BUDDY HOLLY
    BEST

  97. C.... S....

    Truly, 'The day the music died'.

    C.... S....

    But when you think about it, it was the day the music was born because they influenced so many great bands

    C.... S....

    The 50s and 60s will always be the best

  98. C.... S....

    None Better, makes me shiver to hear this. Great Guitar solo.

    C.... S....

    Epic solo. And not easy.

    C.... S....

    Ohh boy oh boy how I love it too..

  99. v.... ....

    Man how music would have progressed if that plane crash never happened.

    v.... ....

    It's shame he never got to see what he influenced...the beatles, etc.
