Lyrics

I used to be a rambler, I stayed around in town
Used to be a rambler, I stayed around in town
Courted Pretty Polly, beauty never been found
Polly, Pretty Polly, yonder she stands
Polly, oh Polly, yonder she stands
With rings on her fingers and lily white hands
Polly, Pretty Polly, take a walk with me
Polly, oh Polly, take a walk with me
When we get married, pleasure to see
Led her over hills and valley’s so deep
Led her hills and valley’s so deep
At last Pretty Polly she began to weep
Willie, oh Willie, I’m afraid of your ways
Willie, oh Willie, afraid of your ways
Your mind is to ramble and lead me astray
Polly, Pretty Polly, guessin’ ‘bout right
Polly, oh Polly, guessin’ ‘bout right
I dug your grave for two-thirds of last night
Went a bit further and what did she spy?
Went a bit further and what did she spy?
A new dug grave with a spade lying by
She threw her arms around him again for to weep
Threw her arms around him again for to weep
At last Pretty Polly she began to sleep
Threw the dirt over her and turned away to go
Threw the dirt over her, turned away to go
Down to the river where the deep water’s flow
