Pretty Polly |
| Oh Polly, Pretty Polly, would you take me unkind |
| Polly, Pretty Polly, would you take me unkind |
| Let me set beside you and tell you my mind |
| Well my mind is to marry and never to part |
| My mind is to marry and never to part |
| The first time I saw you it wounded my heart |
| Oh Polly Pretty Polly come go along with me Polly Pretty Polly come go along with me Before we get married some pleasures to see |
| Oh he led her over mountains and valleys so deep |
| He led her over hills and valleys so deep |
| Pretty Polly mistrusted and then began to weep |
| Oh Willie, Little Willie, I’m afraid to of your ways |
| Willie, Little Willie, I’m afraid of your ways |
| The way you’ve been rambling you’ll lead me astray |
| Oh Polly, Pretty Polly, your guess is about right |
| Polly, Pretty Polly, your guess is about right |
| I dug on your grave the biggest part of last night |
| Oh she knelt down before him a pleading for her life |
| She knelt down before him a pleading for her life |
| Let me be a single girl if I can’t be your wife |
| Oh Polly, Pretty Polly that never can be Polly, Pretty Polly that never can be Your past recitation’s been trouble to me Oh went down to the jailhouse and what did he say |
| He went down to the jailhouse and what did he say |
| I’ve killed Pretty Polly and trying to get away |
