Lyrics

There used to be a gambler who courted all around
 there used to be a gambler who courted all around
 he courted pretty polly, such a beauty never been found
 "pretty polly, pretty polly, come go along with me
 pretty polly, pretty polly, come go long with me
 before we get married, some pleasures to see."
 She jumped up behind him and 'way they did go
 she jumped up behind him and 'way they did go
 down into the valley that was far below
 they went a little further and what did they spot
 they went a little further and what did they spot
 but a newly dug grave with a spade lying by.
 "oh, willy, oh, willy, i'm afraid of your ways
 oh, willy, oh, willy, i'm afraid of your ways
 i'm afraid you will lead my poor body astray"
 "pretty polly, pretty polly, you guessed it just right
 i dug all your grave the better part of last night."
 Then he stabbed her in her heart till her heart's blood did flow
 he stabbed her in her heart till her heart's blood did flow
 down into the grave pretty polly did go
 now a debt to the devil, that willy must pay
 a debt to the devil, that willy must pay
 for killing pretty polly and running away.
