Songtexte Pretty Polly - Pete Seeger

I courted pretty Polly to live 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

Before we get married, some pleasure to see

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?

Bought a new dug grave, with a spade lying by

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

I dug on your grave, biggest part of last night

She throwed her arms around him and trembled with fear

How can you kill a girl that was to you so dear?

He stabbed her to the heart, her heart's blood it did flow

Into the grave, pretty Polly did go

He throwed a little dirt over her and started for home

Leaving nothing behind but the wild birds to moan
