Pretty Polly |
Oh polly, dear polly, come, go along with me |
Polly, pretty polly, come, go along with me |
Before we get married some pleasures to see |
Willie, oh willie, I’m afraid of your ways |
Willie, oh willie, I’m afraid of your way |
I’m afraid you will lead my poor body astray |
Oh polly, dear polly, you’re guessing 'bout right |
Polly, dear polly, you’re guessing just about right |
I dug on your grave the best part of the night |
He went a few steps further and what did she spot? |
Went a few steps further and what did she spy? |
But a new dug grave and a sway lying by |
He stabbed her in her heart and her heart’s blood did flow |
He stabbed her in her heart and her heart’s blood did flow |
And into the grave pretty polly did go |
Oh, gentlemen and ladies, I bid you farewell |
Gentlemen and ladies, I bid you farewell |
For killing pretty polly my soul will go to hell |
It’s a debt to the devil poor willie must pay |
It’s a debt to the devil poor willie must pay |
For killing pretty polly and running away |
