Pretty Polly

Pretty Polly - Erik Darling

There used to be a gambler who courted all around

There used to be a gambler who courted all around

He courted pretty polly her beauty'd never been found

Pretty polly pretty polly go along with me

Pretty polly pretty polly come go along with me

Before we get married some pleasures to see

She jumped up behind him away they did go

She jumped up behind him and away they did go

Over the hios and the valley is below

They went a little further and what did they spy

They went a little further and what did they spy

But a newly dug grave with a spade lying by

Billy the o willy the o I'm afraid of your ways

Willy hey willy I'm afraid of your ways

I'm afraid you will lead my poor body astray

Pretty polly your pretty polly guess just right

Pretty polly your pretty polly your guess just right

I've dug on your grave the better part of last night

He flows on the ground and she broken to tears

She flows on the round and them chango over tears

He stabbed her in the heart and her heart's blood did flow

He stabbed her in the heart and her heart's blood did flow

Down in to the rate pretty poly to go

Death to the devil we illy must pain

Oh death to the devil we illy must pain

For killen pretty polly run in the away
