| «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 |
