There used to be a gambler who courted all around

He courted Pretty Polly, such beauty never been found


Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, come go along with me  2x
Before we get married some pleasures to see

She jumped up behind him and away did they go  2x
Over the hill to the valley below

They went a little further and what did they spy  2x
A new dug grave with a spade lying by

Oh Willy, hey Willy, I'm afraid of your ways  2x
I'm afraid you might lead my poor body astray

Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, you guessed just about right  2x
I've been dug on your grave the better part of last night

He stabbed her in her heart till her hearts blood did flow  2x
Down into her grave Pretty Polly did go

He threw her on some dirt and he started for home  2x
Leaving nothing behind but the wild birds to moan

Now a debt to the devil, Willy must pay  2x
For killing Pretty Polly and running away
