Social Songs
i I courted pretty Polly the livelong night, I courted pretty Polly the livelong night, Then left her next morning before it was light.
2  "Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, come go along with me, Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, come go along with me, Before we get married, some pleasure to see."
3   She got up behind him and away they did go, Over the hills to the valleys below.
4  They went a little farther and what did they spy? A new-dug grave and a spade lying by.
5  "Willie, O Willie, Pm afraid of your way,
Pm afraid you will lead my poor body astray."
6  "Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, you're thinking just right, I dug on your grave the best part of last night."
[ 173]
