Pretty Polly |
«Polly, Pretty Polly, come go long with me- |
Polly, Pretty Polly, come go long with me- |
Before we get married, some pleasure to see» |
She jumped up behind him and away they did ride- |
She jumped up behind him, away they did go- |
Over the mountains, and valleys so low |
«Oh Willie, oh Willie, I’m a feared for my life- |
Oh Willie, oh Willie, I’m a feared for my life- |
I’m afraid you mean to murder me, and leave me behind.» |
«Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, you guessed about right- |
Polly, Pretty Polly, you guessed about right- |
I’ve been diggin' your grave, for the best part of last night.» |
She knelt down before him, pleading for her life- |
She knelt down before him, pleading for her life |
«Let me be a single girl, if I can’t be your wife.» |
He stabbed her to the heart, and her heart blood did flow- |
He stabbed her to the heart, and her heart blood did flow- |
And into the grave, Pretty Polly did go |
He through a little dirt on her and started for home- |
He through a little dirt over her and started for home- |
Leaving nobody there, but the wild birds to moan. |
A debt to the devil, Willie must pay- |
A debt to the devil, Willie must pay- |
For killing Pretty Polly, and running, and running, and running, |
and running away |
