Pretty Polly

歌詞

Traditional I courted Pretty Polly the live-long night I courted Pretty Polly the live-long night Then left her next morning before it was light. Polly, pretty Polly, come go away with me Polly, pretty Polly, come go away with me Before we get married some pleasure to see. He led her over the fields and the valleys so wide He led her over the fields and the valleys so wide Until pretty Polly, she fell by his side. Oh Willie, oh Willie, I'm afraid of your ways Oh Willie, oh Willie, I'm afraid of your ways I'm afraid you will lead my poor body astray. Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, your guess is that right Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, your guess is that right I dug on your grave the best part of last night. He stabbed her to the heart and her heart's blood did flow He stabbed her to the heart and her heart's blood did flow And into the grave pretty Polly did go. He threw a little dirt over her and started for home He threw a little dirt over her and started for home Leaving no one behind but the wild birds to mourn. She threw her arms around him and trembled with fear How can you kill the poor girl that loves you so dear? There's no time to talk and there's no time to stand Then he drew his knife all in his right hand.
