Pretty Polly [core]
Oh Polly, pretty Polly, come go along with me
Polly, pretty Polly, come go along with me
Before we get married some 5 pleasure to 1 see
Oh he led her over mountains and valleys so deep,... (×2)
'Til Polly mistrusted and then began to weep
Oh Willie, little Willie, I'm afraid of your ways,... (×2)
The way you've been rambling you'll lead me astray
Oh Polly, pretty Polly, your guess is about right,... (×2)
I dug your grave the biggest part of last night
Oh she knelt down before him, pleading for her life,... (×2)
Let me be a single girl if I can't be your wife
Oh Polly, pretty Polly that never can be,... (×2)
Your past reputation's been trouble to me
Oh he stabbed her in the heart and her heart's blood did flow,... (×2)
And into the grave pretty Polly did go
Oh he went to the jailhouse and what did he say,... (×2)
I've killed pretty Polly and trying to get away
