Pretty Polly |
| Pretty Polly, please come on down |
| From your home home high up off the ground |
| In the tree dark and forlorn |
| Where the rope hangs bruised and worn |
| Though I’ll never fly to you |
| It’s the last thing I would do |
| You have dug two holes so deep |
| I’m afraid that one’s for me |
| Pretty Polly must I cry |
| Without your voice I’ll fear I’d die |
| The song you sing and the story you tell |
| We must keep them to ourselves |
| Oh I know my voice like nightingale |
| Now I have my brand new tale |
| Of a tree dark and forlorn |
| Where a rope hang bruised and worn |
| Petty Polly, I have bread |
| That I have not eaten yet |
| Come and take them from my thalls |
| Then we’ll lay your song to rest |
| I suppose my song can wait |
| For I am hungry and grows late |
| I will eat your bread and then |
| I will sing my song a-gain |
| Pretty Polly, I had no choice |
| Stop your heart and steal your voice |
| One more little body so still |
| One more little hole to fill |
