The Stanley Brothers - Pretty Polly lyrics

Oh Polly, Pretty Polly, would you take me unkind

Polly, Pretty Polly, would you take me unkind

Let me set beside you and tell you my mind

Well 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

Oh Polly Pretty Polly come go along with me

Polly Pretty Polly come go along with me

Before we get married some pleasures to see

Oh he led her over mountains and valleys so deep

He led her over hills and valleys so deep

Pretty Polly mistrusted and then began to weep

Oh Willie, Little Willie, I'm afraid to of your ways

Willie, Little Willie, I'm afraid of your ways

The way you've been rambling you'll lead me astray

Oh Polly, Pretty Polly, your guess is about right

Polly, Pretty Polly, your guess is about right

I dug on your grave the biggest part of last night

Well she went a little farther and what did she spy

She went a little farther and what did she spy

A new dug grave with a spade lying by

Oh 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

Polly, Pretty Polly that never can be

Your past reputation's been trouble to me

Oh went down to the jailhouse and what did he say

He went down to the jailhouse and what did he say

I've killed Pretty Polly and trying to get away
