Pretty Polly - B.F. Shelton/E.K. Brewer/M. Mooney

Pretty Polly Pretty Polly would you think it unkind

Pretty Polly Pretty Polly would you think it unkind

If I sat down beside you and told you my mind

I courted Pretty Polly the live-long night

I courted Pretty Polly the live-long night

Until it was next morning before it was light

I led her over the hills to the valleys so deep

I led her over the hills to the valleys so deep

At last Pretty Polly's beginning to weep

Come on Pretty Polly

And go along with me

Come on Pretty Polly

And go along with me

Before we get married

Some pleasure to see

Oh Willie sweet Willie

I fear from your ways

Oh Willy sweet Willy

I fear from your ways

The way you are ramblin' it's making me afraid

She went a piece farther see what she could spy

She went a piece farther see what she could spy

A new dug grave and a spade lying by

Had no time to start and no time there to stand

Had no time to start and no time there to stand

He drew a knife holding in his right hand

Pretty Polly Pretty Polly

You're guessing just right

Pretty Polly Pretty Polly

You're guessing just right

I dug on your grave six long hours all last night

She threw her arms around him and suffered no tears

She threw her arms around him and suffered no tears

How can you kill a girl that loves you so dear

He stabbed her through the heart

Her hearts blood it did flow

He stabbed her through the heart

Her hearts blood it did flow

And into the grave Prettty Polly did go

Oh Willie sweet Willie turn loose my hand

Willie sweet Willie turn loose my hand

You see my heart's blood running

Around where you stand

He threw the dirt over her and turned to go home

He threw the dirt over her and turned to go home

Leaving nothing behind him

But the birds for to mourn

Gentlemen and ladies I'll bid you farewell

Gentlemen and ladies I'll bid you farewell

For killing Pretty Polly will send my soul to hell
