"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 cant be your wife."

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-

For killing Pretty Polly, and running, and running, and running, and running away.
