Pretty Polly

歌詞

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 hills to valleys so deep I led her over hills to the valley 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, oh Willy, I fear from your ways The way you are ramblin' it's making me afraid She went a piece farther (to) see what she could spy She went a piece farther (to) see what she could spy A new dug grave and a spade lying by Had no time *weep and no time there to stand Had no time weep 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 about 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 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 Threw the dirt over her and turned to go home Leaving nothing behind him but the birds for to mourn
