Pretty Polly Uncle Sinner

I used to be a rambler, I stayed around in town
I used to be a rambler, I stayed around in town
I courted Pretty Polly, her body's never been found

They called her Pretty Polly, a name I knew so well
They called her Pretty Polly, a name I knew so well
I loved up her body and sent her soul to hell

Polly, Pretty Polly come go around with me
Polly, Pretty Polly come go around with me
Before we get married some pleasure to see

Willie, oh Willie I'm afraid of your ways
Willie, oh Willie I'm afraid of your ways
I'm afraid you will leave my body astray

Polly, Pretty Polly your guess is about right
Polly, Pretty Polly your guess is about right
I dug on your grave six long hours last night

She took two steps farther and what did she spy?
She took two steps farther and what did she spy?
But a new dug grave and a spade lying by

Willie, oh Willie please spare my life
Willie, oh Willie oh-please spare my life
Remember me a single mom if I can't be your wife
