Lyrics
(Traditional:arr k.j.garside / c.gray)
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
