Pretty Polly |
| I used to be a rambler, staying around in town |
| I used to be a rambler, staying around in town |
| I courted Pretty Polly, such a beauty never found |
| Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, oh yonder she stands |
| Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, oh yonder she stands |
| Gold rings on her finger and lily white hands |
| Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, go along with me |
| Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, go along with me |
| Before we get married, some pleasure for to see |
| He led her over mountains and valleys so deep |
| He led her over mountains and valleys so deep |
| At last, Pretty Polly, she began to weep |
| Oh Willy, oh Willy, I’m afraid of your ways |
| Oh Willy, oh Willy, I’m afraid of your ways |
| Afraid you will lead my poor body astray |
| Polly, you’re guessing about right |
| Polly, you’re guessing about right |
| I dug on your grave, almost all last night |
| She walked two steps further and what did she spy |
| She walked to steps further and what did she spy |
| A new-dug grave and a spade lying by |
| Let me go, let me go, I’m afraid of you Willy |
| Let me go, let me go, I’m afraid of you Willy |
| I can’t go back, I can’t be your wife |
| Polly, oh Polly that never be |
| Polly, oh Polly that never be |
| Your reputation bring trouble to me |
| He stabbed her through her breast and blood did flow |
| He stabbed her through her breast and blood did flow |
| And down into the ground Polly did go |
| Oh Willy, oh Willy you’re gonna have to pay |
| Oh Willy, oh Willy you’re gonna have to pay |
| For killing pretty Polly and running away |
