Pretty Polly

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 mind
 Well 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 heart
 Oh Polly Pretty Polly come go along with me
 Polly Pretty Polly come go along with me
 Before we get married some pleasures to see
 Oh 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 weep
 Oh 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 astray
 Oh 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 night
 Oh 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 wife
 Oh Polly, Pretty Polly that never can be
 Polly, Pretty Polly that never can be
 Your past recitation's been trouble to me
 Oh 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
