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 nobody 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.
