Pretty Polly
Lyricist:Gram Parsons
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'd 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 Over the hill to the valley below
They went a little further and what did they spy They went a little further and what did they spy But a new dug grave with a spade lying by

Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, you've guessed it just right Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, you've guessed it just about right For I've dug on your grave, the better part of last night
Then 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 Willy must pay A debt to the devil that Willy must pay For killing Pretty Polly and running away
