Polly, pretty Polly, come and go with me
Polly, pretty Polly, won't you come and go with me?
Before we get married, some pleasure we'll see

They rode along the hilltop and what did they spy?
They rode along the hilltop and what did they spy?
But a new dug grave with a spade lying by

There's no time to talk now, there's no time to stand
There's no time to talk now, there's no time to stand
He drew out his knife, all into his right hand

He stabbеd her in the heart and thе blood, it did flow
He stabbed her in the heart and the red blood, it did flow
And into her grave pretty Polly did go

He threw on some earth and he started out for home
He threw on some earth and he started out for home
Leaving nothing behind but the wild birds to moan

Now a debt to the devil, debt to the devil he must pay
Now a debt to the devil, debt to the devil he must pay
For killing pretty Polly and running away
