Pretty Polly- Cora Spicer (KY) 1917 Sharp MS
[My title. One opening stanza with music from Sharp MS.
Sharp's Diary: We had an interesting talk with a Mrs Gilman a lawyer’s wife who told us about the country generally and we got 2 or 3 songs from a Mrs Vergie Charlton and should have got more from her brother in law, Rutterford, a blacksmith had he not been too busy.

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.
