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 of your way
|
Willie, Little Willie, I'm afraid of your way
|
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 repitation's been trouble to me
|
|
Oh he 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
|
