Pretty Polly (demo) Songtext
von Trees

Polly, pretty Polly, come go along with me
Polly, pretty Polly, come go along with me
Before we get married some pleasures to see
She jumped up beside him and away they did go
She jumped up beside him and away they did go
Over mountains so high and valleys so low


They rode a little farther and what did they spy?
They rode a little farther and what did they spy?
A new-made grave and a spade lying by
Willy, oh Willy, I′m afraid of your ways
Willy, oh Willy, I'm afraid of your ways
I′m afraid you might lead my poor body astray

Polly, oh Polly, you guessed about right
Polly, oh Polly, you guessed about right
I've been digging your grave the best of last night
Pity poor Polly for now she must die
Pity poor Polly for now she must die
The birds they did scatter at Polly's last cry

He stabbed her to the heart and the heart′s blood did flow
He stabbed her to the heart and the heart′s blood did flow
And into her grave pretty Polly did go


Death to the devil and Willy must pay
Death to the devil and Willy must pay
For killing poor Polly and running away
