Pretty Polly Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

Oh Polly, Pretty Polly, would you take me unkind 

Polly, Pretty Polly, would you take me unkind 

Let me set beside you and tell you my mind 

 

Well my mind is to marry and never to part 

My mind is to marry and never to part 

The first time I saw you it wounded my heart 

 

Oh Polly Pretty Polly come go along with me 

Polly Pretty Polly come go along with me 

Before we get married some pleasures to see 

 

Oh he led her over mountains and valleys so deep 

He led her over hills and valleys so deep 

Pretty Polly mistrusted and then began to weep 

 

Oh Willie, Little Willie, I'm afraid to of your ways 

Willie, Little Willie, I'm afraid of your ways 

The way you've been rambling you'll lead me astray 

 

Oh Polly, Pretty Polly, your guess is about right 

Polly, Pretty Polly, your guess is about right 

I dug on your grave the biggest part of last night 

 

Well she went a little farther and what did she spy 

She went a little farther and what did she spy 

A new dug grave with a spade lying by 

 

Oh she knelt down before him a pleading for her life 

She knelt down before him a pleading for her life 

Let me be a single girl if I can't be your wife 

 

Oh Polly, Pretty Polly that never can be 

Polly, Pretty Polly that never can be 

Your past reputation's been trouble to me 

 

Oh went down to the jailhouse and what did he say 

He went down to the jailhouse and what did he say 

I've killed Pretty Polly and trying to get away
