Polly, pretty Polly, come go away with me

Polly, pretty Polly, come go away with me

Before we get married, some pleasure 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

Oh, oh oh

Oh, oh oh

Oh, oh oh

He threw a little dirt over her, 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

Running away, away

(Polly, pretty Polly, come go away with me)

Running away, away

(Polly, pretty Polly, come go away with me)

Running away, away

(Polly, pretty Polly, come go away with me)

Running away, away

(Polly, pretty Polly, come go away with me)

Running away
