AmThere used to be a gambler who courted all around
AmThere used to be a gambler who courted all around
Am Dm AmHe courted pretty Polly, such beauty'd never been found
[Chorus]
AmPretty Polly, pretty Polly, come Go along with me
AmPretty Polly, pretty Polly, come Go along with me.
Am C AmBefore we get married, some pleasures to see
[Verse 2]
AmShe jumped up behind him and away they did go
AmShe jumped up behind him and away they did go
Am C AmDown into the valley that was far below
AmThey went a little further, and what did they spy
AmThey went a little further, and what did they spy
Am C AmBut a newly-dug grave with a spade lying by
[Verse 3]
AmOh Willy, hey Willy, I'm afraid of your ways
AmOh Willy, hey Willy, I'm afraid of your ways
Am DmI'm afraid you will leave my poor body astray
[Chorus]
AmPretty Polly, pretty Polly, you've guessed it just right
AmPretty Polly, pretty Polly, you've guessed it just right
Am Dm AmI've dug on your grave the better part of last night
[Verse 4]
AmThen he stabbed her in the heart til her heart's blood did flow
AmHe stabbed her in the heart 'til her heart's blood did flow
[Verse 5]
Am Dm AmDown into the grave pretty Polly did go
AmNow a debt to the devil that Willy must pay
AmA debt to the devil that Willy must pay
Am Dm AmFor killing pretty Polly and running away
