Lyrics
Polly, pretty Polly, come along with me
Polly, pretty Polly, come along with me
Before we get married/ some please to see
Jumped up behind him and away they go
Jumped up behind him and away they go
Down to the valley/ The forest below
Went a little further and what did they spy?
Went a little further and what did they spy?
But a new grave/ with a spade laying by
"Willie, oh Willie, I'm afraid of your ways
Willie, oh Willie, I'm afraid of your ways
I'm so afraid I have led you astray."
"Polly, pretty Polly, you guessed just about right
Polly, pretty Polly, yo guessed justabout right
I dug your grave for the most of last night."
Stabbed her in the heart and the blood it did flow
Stabbed her in the heart and the blood it did flow
And pretty Polly fell to her grave below
A debt to the devil we all must pay
A debt to the devil we all must pay
For killing pretty Polly and running away
