David Grisman - Pretty Polly lyrics
Well Polly, Pretty Polly, would you take me unkind Well Polly, Pretty Polly, would you take me unkind Let me set beside you and tell you my mind 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 Well Polly Pretty Polly come on go along with me Polly Pretty Polly come on go along with me Before we get married some pleasures to see So he led her over mountains and valleys so deep He led her over mountains and valleys so deep Polly mistrusted and then began to weep Say Willie, Little Willie, I'm afraid of your ways Now Willie, Little Willie, I'm afraid of your ways The way you've been rambling you'll lead me astray Now Polly, Pretty Polly, your guess is about right Now Polly, Pretty Polly, your guess is about right I dug on your grave the best part of last night Then he led a little farther and what did she spy He led a little farther and what did she spy A newly dug grave with a spade lay’in by Then 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 Oh Polly, Pretty Polly that never can be Your past reputations been trouble to me Then he opened up her bosom as white as the snow He opened up her bosom as white as the snow He snapped to the heart and the blood did over flow Then he went down to the jailhouse and what did he say He went to the jailhouse and what did he say I've killed Pretty Polly and tried to get away |
