Pretty Polly (Bluegrass) - Michael Daves

Oh polly pretty polly

would you take me unkind

Polly pretty polly

would you take me unkind

Let me set beside you

and tell you my mind

Well my mind is to marry

Oh polly pretty polly

come go along with me

and valleys so deep

Polly pretty polly your guess is about right

the biggest part of last night

Well she went a little farther

and what did she spy

Oh she knelt down before him

a pleading for her life

She knelt down before him

a pleading for her life

Let me be a single girl

if I can't be your wife

Oh polly pretty polly

that never can be

Polly pretty polly

that never can be

and what did he know

That do the heard polly folw
