I courted Pretty Polly to live a-long night
I courted Pretty Polly to live a-long night
And left her next morning before it was light
"Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, you can go along with me
Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, you can go along with me
Before we get married some pleasure to see."
He led her over hills and the valleys so deep
He led her over hills and the valleys so deep
Until Pretty Polly, she commenced to weep
He led her a-little farther and what did they spy?
He led her a-little farther and what did they spy?
But a new-dug grave, with a spade lying by
"Oh Willie, oh Willie, I'm afraid of your way
Oh Willie, oh Willie, I'm afraid of your way
I'm afraid you'll lead my poor body astray."
"Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, you guessed just 'bout right
Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, you guessed just 'bout right
I dug on your grave, biggest part of last night."
She throwed her arms around him and trembled with fear
She throwed her arms around him and trembled with fear
"How can you kill a girl that was to you so dear?"
I courted Pretty Polly to live a-long night
And left her next morning before it was light
"Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, you can go along with me
Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, you can go along with me
Before we get married some pleasure to see."
He led her over hills and the valleys so deep
He led her over hills and the valleys so deep
Until Pretty Polly, she commenced to weep
He led her a-little farther and what did they spy?
He led her a-little farther and what did they spy?
But a new-dug grave, with a spade lying by
"Oh Willie, oh Willie, I'm afraid of your way
Oh Willie, oh Willie, I'm afraid of your way
I'm afraid you'll lead my poor body astray."
"Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, you guessed just 'bout right
Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, you guessed just 'bout right
I dug on your grave, biggest part of last night."
She throwed her arms around him and trembled with fear
She throwed her arms around him and trembled with fear
"How can you kill a girl that was to you so dear?"
