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 ride |
|
She got up behind him and away they did ride |
|
Over the hills and the valleys so wide |
|
They rode a little further and what did they spy |
|
They rode a little further and what did they spy |
|
But a new-dug grave with a spade lying by |
|
Oh willy, oh willy, i'm scared of your ways |
|
Oh willy, oh willy, i'm scared of your ways |
|
Scared you might lead my poor body astray |
|
Polly, pretty polly, you've guessed just about right |
|
Polly, pretty polly, you've guessed just about right |
|
I've dug on your grave the best part of last night |

|
And he stabbed her in the heart and the heart-blood did flow |
|
Into her grave pretty polly did go |
|
He threw a little dirt over her and started for home |
|
He threw a little dirt over her and started for home |
|
Leaving nothing behind but the wild birds to moan |
|

|
For killing pretty polly and running away |
