Oh Polly pretty Polly come go along with me
Polly pretty Polly come go along with me
Before we get married some pleasures you’ll see

Oh he led her over mountains and valleys so deep
He led her over mountains and valleys so deep
Polly mistrusted and then began to weep

Now 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 will lead you astray

Now 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

He stabbed her in the heart and her hearts blood did flow
He stabbed her in the heart and her hearts blood did flow
Into the grave pretty Polly did go

He 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 I’m trying to get away

[1] Oh Polly pretty Polly come go along with me

Oh he led her over mountains and valleys so deep
He led her over mountains and valleys so deep
