Pretty Polly Lyrics - Judy Collins

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.
