Sandy Denny - Pretty Polly Lyrics
Polly, pretty polly, come go along with mePolly, pretty polly, come go along with meBefore we get married some pleasure to seeShe got up behind him and away they did rideShe got up behind him and away they did rideOver the hills and the valleys so wideThey rode a little further and what did they spyThey rode a little further and what did they spyBut a new-dug grave with a spade lying byOh willy, oh willy, Im scared of your waysOh willy, oh willy, Im scared of your waysScared you might lead my poor body astrayPolly, pretty polly, youve guessed just about rightPolly, pretty polly, youve guessed just about rightIve dug on your grave the best part of last nightAnd he stabbed her in the heart and the heart-blood did flowAnd he stabbed her in the heart and the heart-blood did flowInto her grave pretty polly did goHe threw a little dirt over her and started for homeHe threw a little dirt over her and started for homeLeaving nothing behind but the wild birds to moanAnd its debt to the devil, and willy must payAnd its debt to the devil, and willy must payFor killing pretty polly and running away
