Pretty Polly - Queenadreena

Polly pretty Polly come go away with me

Polly pretty Polly come go away with me

Before we get married some pleasures to see

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

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

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

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

He threw a little dirt over her and started for home

He threw a little dirt over her and started for home

Leaving nobody there but the wild birds to moan

A debt to the devil Billy must pay

A debt to the devil Billy must pay

For killing pretty Polly and running away
