Davy Graham - Pretty Polly lyrics

I courted Pretty Polly the live long night I courted Pretty Polly the live long night and I left her next morning before it was light Polly Pretty Polly come take a walk with me Polly Pretty Polly come take a walk with me Before we get married some pleasure to see Willy oh Willy I'm afraid of your ways Willy oh Willy I'm afraid of your ways I'm afraid you will lead my poor Polly astray instrumental she clambered up behind him and away they did ride she clambered up behind him and away they did ride over the hills and the valleys so wide longer instrumental Polly pretty Polly you guessed just about right Polly pretty Polly you guessed just about right I dug on your grave the best part of the night Well they rode a little bit further and what did they spy they rode a little bit further and what did they spy? Well a new dug grave with a spade lying by. Stabbed her to the heart and her hearts blood did flow Stabbed her to the heart and her hearts blood did floooow into the grave pretty Polly did go He through a little dirt over her and started for home threw a little dirt over her and started for hooooome leaving no one behind but the wild birds to mourn Willy oh Willy I'm afraid of your ways Willy oh Willy I'm afraid of your ways I'm afraid you will lead my poor Polly astray
