 "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 cant 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.
