Peter, Paul & Mary - Polly Von Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I shall tell of a hunter whose life was undone
  • By the cruel hand of evil at the setting of the sun
  • His arrow was loosed and it flew through the dark,
  • And his true love was slain as the shaft found its mark.
  • Chorus:
  • Shed her apron wrapped about her and he took her for a swan
  • But its oh and alas it was she, polly von
  • He ran up beside her and found it was she
  • He turned away his head for he could not bear to see
  • He lifted her up and found she was dead,
  • A fountain of tears for his true love, he shed.
  • (chorus)
  • He bore her away to his home by the sea
  • Cryin father, oh father, I murdered poor polly!
  • Ive killed my fair love in the flower of her life!
  • I always intended that she be my wife.
  • But shed her apron wrapped about her
  • And I took her for a swan,
  • And its oh and alas it was she, polly von.
  • He roamed near the place where his true love was slain
  • He wept bitter tears, but his cries were all in vain.
  • As he looked on the lake, a swan glided by
  • And the sun slowly sank in the grey of the sky.
  • (chorus)
