judy collins - pretty polly lyrics
“polly, pretty polly, come go long with me-
polly, pretty polly, come go long with me-
before we get married, some pleasure to see”
she jumped up behind him and away they did ride-
she jumped up behind him, away they did go-
over the mountains, and valleys so low.
“oh willie, oh willie, i’m a feared for my life-
oh willie, oh willie, i’m a feared for my life-
i’m afraid you mean to murder me, and leave me behind..”
“pretty polly, pretty polly, you guessed about right-
polly, pretty polly, you guessed about right-
i’ve been diggin’ your grave, for the best part of last night.”
she knelt down before him, pleading for her life-
she knelt down before him, pleading for her life,
“let me be a single girl, if i can’t be your wife..”
he stabbed her to the heart, and her heart blood did flow-
he stabbed her to the heart, and her heart blood did flow-
and into the grave, pretty polly did go.
he through a little dirt on her and started for home-
he through a little dirt over her and started for home-
leaving n-body there, but the wild birds to moan..
a debt to the devil, willie must pay-
a debt to the devil, willie must pay-
for killing pretty polly, and running, and running, and running, and running away.
