Pretty Polly Lyrics


Oh Polly, Pretty Polly, would you take me unkind
Polly, Pretty Polly, would you take me unkind
Let me set beside you and tell you my mindWell my mind is to marry and never to part
My mind is to marry and never to part
The first time I saw you it wounded my heartOh Polly Pretty Polly come go along with me
Polly Pretty Polly come go along with me
Before we get married some pleasures to seeOh he led her over mountains and valleys so deep
He led her over hills and valleys so deep
Pretty Polly mistrusted and then began to weepOh Willie, Little Willie, I'm afraid to of your ways
Willie, Little Willie, I'm afraid of your ways
The way you've been rambling you'll lead me astrayOh Polly, Pretty Polly, your guess is about right
Polly, Pretty Polly, your guess is about right
I dug on your grave the biggest part of last nightWell she went a little farther and what did she spy
She went a little farther and what did she spy
A new dug grave with a spade lying byOh she knelt down before him a pleading for her life
She knelt down before him a pleading for her life
Let me be a single girl if I can't be your wifeOh Polly, Pretty Polly that never can be
Polly, Pretty Polly that never can be

Your past reputation's been trouble to meOh went down to the jailhouse and what did he say
He went down to the jailhouse and what did he say
I've killed Pretty Polly and trying to get away

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
