Pretty Polly

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Katie Jane Garside] Polly, pretty Polly, come go away with me Polly, pretty Polly, come go away with me Before we get married, some pleasure to see [Verse 2: Katie Jane Garside] She jumped up beside him and away they did go She jumped up beside him and away they did go Over the mountains and the valleys below [Verse 3: Katie Jane Garside] Billy, oh, Billy, I'm afraid for my life Billy, oh, Billy, I'm afraid for my life I'm afraid you mean to murder me and leave me behind [Verse 4: Katie Jane Garside] Polly, pretty Polly, you're guessing about right Polly, pretty Polly, you're guessing about right I've been digging your grave for the best part of your life [Verse 5: Katie Jane Garside] He stabbed her through the heart and her hot blood did flow He stabbed her through the heart and her hot blood did flow And into the grave pretty Polly did go [Refrain: Katie Jane Garside] Oh, oh oh Oh, oh oh Oh, oh oh [Verse 6: Katie Jane Garside] He threw a little dirt over her, started for home He threw a little dirt over her and started for home Leaving nobody there but the wild birds to moan [Verse 7: Katie Jane Garside] A debt to the devil Billy must pay A debt to the devil Billy must pay For killing pretty Polly and running away [Outro: Katie Jane Garside & Crispin Gray] Running away, away (Polly, pretty Polly, come go away with me) Running away, away (Polly, pretty Polly, come go away with me) Running away, away (Polly, pretty Polly, come go away with me) Running away, away (Polly, pretty Polly, come go away with me) Running away
