Pretty Polly- from Folk Songs From East Kentucky, 1935.
1. Oh Polly, oh Polly would you think it unkind
For me to sit down beside you, and tell you my mind.
2. Oh Polly, oh Polly come go along with me,
Before we get married some pleasure to see.
[text upcoming]
11. Oh boys take a warning, take a warning with fear,
Never kill a girl that loves you it will send you to the chair.
