On the Mountain- From a film of children singing in 1950 at Norton Park School in Edinburgh, Scotland (released 1951).

On the mountain stands a lady,
Who she is I cannot tell
All she wants is gold and silver,
All she wants is a nice young man,

So call in my Peggy dear,
Peggy dear, Peggy dear,
So call in my Peggy dear,
Peggy dear.
