[F] [Gm]
There used to be a gambler who courted all around.
There used to be a gambler who courted all around.
He courted Pretty Polly, such beauty never been found.
Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, come go along with me.
Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, come go along with me.
Before we get married, some pleasures to see.
She jumped up behind him and away they did go.
She jumped up behind him and away they did go.
Down into the valley that was far below.
They went a little further and what did they spy?
They went a little further and what did they spy?
But a new blood-grave with a spade lying by.
Oh Willie, hey Willie, I'm afraid of your ways.
Oh Willie, hey Willie, I'm afraid of your ways.
I'm afraid you will lead my poor body astray.
Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, you guessed it just right.
Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, you guessed it just right.
A dog on your grave looked better part of last night.
And he stabbed her in the heart till her heart's blood did flow.
He stabbed her in the heart till her heart's blood did flow.
Down into the grave Pretty Polly did go.
Now a debt to the devil that Willie must pay.
A debt to the devil that Willie must pay.
For killing Pretty Polly and running away.
