Pretty Polly |
| I used to be a rambler, I stayed around in town |
| I used to be a rambler, I stayed around in town |
| I courted Pretty Polly, her body’s never been found |
| They called her Pretty Polly, a name I knew so well |
| They called her Pretty Polly, a name I knew so well |
| I loved up her body and sent her soul to hell |
| Polly, Pretty Polly come go around with me |
| Polly, Pretty Polly come go around with me |
| Before we get married some pleasure to see |
| Willie, oh Willie I’m afraid of your ways |
| Willie, oh Willie I’m afraid of your ways |
| I’m afraid you will leave my body astray |
| Polly, Pretty Polly your guess is about right |
| Polly, Pretty Polly your guess is about right |
| I dug on your grave six long hours last night |
| She took two steps farther and what did she spy? |
| She took two steps farther and what did she spy? |
| But a new dug grave and a spade lying by |
| Willie, oh Willie please spare my life |
| Willie, oh Willie oh-please spare my life |
| Remember me a single mom if I can’t be your wife |
| There’s no time for talking, there’s no time to stand |
| There’s no time for talking, there’s no time to stand |
| I drew up a hunting knife in my right hand |
| I stabbed her through the heart and her lifeblood did flow |
| I stabbed her through the heart and her lifeblood did flow |
| And into her grave Pretty Polly did go |
| Oh where is Pretty Polly, oh yonder she stands |
| Oh where is Pretty Polly, yonder she stands |
| No rings on her fingers or her cold dead hands |
