Pretty Polly |
| Polly, pretty polly, come go along with me Polly, pretty polly, come go along with me Before we get married some pleasure to see |
| She got up behind him and away they did go She got up behind him and away they did go Over the hills to the valley so low |
| 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 with a spade lying by He stabbed her through the heart |
| Her hearts blood it did flow |
| He stabbed her through the heart |
| Her hearts blood it 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 |
| With nothing behind him but the girl there to mourn |
| Little birdy |
| Little birdy, little birdy |
| What makes you fly so high? |
| Its because I am a birdy |
| And Im not afraid to die |
| Little birdy, little birdy |
| Come sing me your song |
| Ive a short time to be here with you |
| And a long time, to be gone |
| Little birdy, little birdy |
| What makes your wing so blue? |
| Its because Ive been a-grievin |
| Grievin after you |
| Little birdy, little birdy |
| Come sing me your song |
| Ive a short time to be here with you |
| And a long time, to be gone |
| Little birdy, little birdy |
| What makes your head so red? |
| After all that I have been through |
| Its a wonder I aint dead |
| Little birdy, little birdy |
| Come sing me your song |
| Ive a short time to be here with you |
| And a long time, to be gone |
