Polly Vaughn |
Come all you young fellows |
That carry a gun |
I’ll have you come home |
By the light of the sun |
For Jimmy was hunting |
And hunting alone |
When he shot his true love |
In the room of a swan |
Polly went out in a shower of hail |
She crept to the bushes |
Herself to conceal |
With her apron pulled o'er her |
He took her for a swan |
He aimed, he fired |
And killed his Polly Vaughn |
Then home rushed young Jimmy |
His dog, and his gun |
Crying, "Uncle, dear Uncle |
Oh, what have I done? |
Oh, cursed be the gunsmith |
That made my old gun |
For I shot my true love |
In the room of a swan!" |
Then out rushed bold uncle |
His locks hanging grey |
Crying, "Jimmy dear Jimmy |
Don’t you run away |
Don’t leave the county |
Till your trials come on |
For they never would hang you |
For shooting a swan." |
The funeral of Polly, it was a brave sight |
Four and twenty young men |
All dressed in white |
They brought her to the graveyard |
Laid her in the grave |
All said, "Goodbye Polly!" |
And went weeping away |
In six weeks time |
The trial was on |
And Polly appeared |
In the room of a swan |
Crying, "Judge, oh Jury |
Let Jimmy go clear |
For he never should hang |
For shooting his dear! |
My apron was bound around me |
And he took me for a swan |
And my poor heart lay a'bleeding |
All on the wet, green ground |
