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 |
