about
Traditional, arranged by Dave Richardson
lyrics
The queen, she wants sailors to sail on the sea,
Which made pretty Polly to stand up and plead:
“Willy, dear Willy, don't go off to sea,
Remember the vows that you made unto me.”
Early next morning before it was day,
He went to his Polly, these words he did say:
“Oh, Polly, pretty Polly, come go along with me,
Before we are married some friends for to see.”
He led her o’er hills and through valleys so deep,
Which made pretty Polly to sigh and to weep,
Sayin' “Willy, dear Willy, you led me astray,
Ahead of my innocent life to betray.”
“Oh Polly, pretty Polly, 'tis true all you say
For all this long night I've been diggin' your grave.”
And the grave, it laying open and spade lying by
It made pretty Polly to weep and to cry.
“Oh spare me, dear Willy, my innocent life
And I never will covet for to be your wife.
I'll travel the country to set you free
If you will but pardon the baby and me.”
“No pardon, no pardon, no pardon I'll give.”
And with that he drew out his long dagger-knife;
He stabbed her to the heart and the blood it did flow,
And into the grave, fast, her body did go.
He's covered her over so safe and secure.
Nobody would find her, of that he was sure.
Then he went on board ship for to sail the world around
Before that the murder would ever be found.
Early one morning, before it was day,
The captain come up and these words he did say:
“There's a murderer on board which has lately been done.
Our ship is in mourning, we cannot sail on.”
Up jumped one sailor: “Indeed, it's not me.”
Then up jumped another, the same he did say.
Then up jumped bold Willy to stomp and to swear,
Sayin' “no, it's not me, sir; I vow and declare!”
As he was turning from the captain with speed
There was pretty Polly and his heart it did bleed.
She ripped him and stripped him and tore him in three,
Because he had murdered the baby and she.
Where is pretty Polly? Over yonder she stands
With rings on her fingers and lily white hands.
She cradles the babe in her clay cold arms
None, even not Willy, can do her more harm.
