| Oh Polly, Pretty Polly, come go along with me
|
| Polly, Pretty Polly, come go along with me
|
| Before we get married some pleasures to see
|
| She got behind him and away they did go
|
| She got behind him and away they did go
|
| Over the hills and mountains to the valley below
|
| He rode her over hills and valleys so deep
|
| He rode her over hills and valleys so deep
|
| Pretty Polly mistrusted and then began to weep
|
| Oh Willie, Oh Willie, I’m afraid to of your ways
|
| Willie, Oh Willie, I’m afraid of your ways
|
| The way you’ve been acting, you’ll lead me astray
|
| They went up a little farther, and what did they spy
|
| They went up a little farther and what did they spy
|
| A newly-dug grave, and a spade lying by
|
| Oh Polly, Pretty Polly, your guess is about right
|
| Polly, Pretty Polly, your guess is about right
|
| I dug on your grave the best part of last night
|
| She knelt down before him pleading for her life
|
| She knelt down before him pleading for her life
|
| Please let me be a single girl if I can’t be your wife
|
| He stabbed her in the heart and her heart’s blood did flow
|
| He stabbed her in the heart and her heart’s blood did flow
|
| And into the grave Pretty Polly did go
|
| He threw something over her and turned to go home
|
| He threw something over her and turned to go home
|
| Leaving nothing behind him, but the girl left to mourn
|
| He went down to the jailhouse and what did he say
|
| He went down to the jailhouse and what did he say
|
| I killed Pretty Polly and tried to get away
|
| Oh gentlemen and ladies, I bid you farewell
|
| Oh gentlemen and ladies, I bid you farewell
|
| For killing Pretty Polly my soul will go to hell |
