Pretty Polly

歌詞

I courted Pretty Polly the live-long night I courted Pretty Polly the live-long night And I left her in the morning before it was light "Oh, Polly, oh Polly, come, come along with me Polly, oh Polly, come, come along with me Before we get married some pleasure to see!" Now she jumped on behind me and off we did go Yes, she jumped on behind me and off we did go It's all over the hills and the valley so low We rode a little further, then what did she spy? Rode a little further, then what did she spy? Hit's a fresly dug grave with the spade lyin' by! "Oh Willie, oh Willie, I'm afeared of your way Oh Willie, oh Willie, I'm afeared of your way I'm afeared you will lead my poor body astray!" "Oh Polly, oh Polly, your guessed just 'bout right Polly, oh Polly, your guessed just 'bout right I was diggin' your grave the best part of last night!" There's no time to talk now, there's no time to stand No time to talk now, there's no time to stand – Oh, he's taken his sword all in his right hand! He opened her bosom as white as the snow Opened her bosom as white as the snow And he stob her in the breast and her heart's blooddid flow He throwed a little dirt on and headed for home Throwed a little dirt on and headed for home Leavin' no one but the wild birds to moan A debt to the devil young Willie must pay Debt to the devil young Willie must pay For killing Pretty Polly and running away!
