Gm                     
Oh Polly, dear Polly, come, go along with me
Gm                      
Polly, pretty Polly, come, go along with me
Gm                             Bb         Cm 
Before we get married some pleasures to see


[Verse 2]

Gm                      
Willie, oh Willie, I'm afraid of your ways
Gm                      
Willie, oh Willie, I'm afraid of your ways
Gm                             Bb         Cm 
I'm afraid you will lead my poor body astray


[Verse 3]

Gm                      
Oh Polly, dear Polly, you're guessing 'bout right
Gm                      
Polly, dear Polly, you're guessing just about right
Gm                             Bb         Cm 
I dug on your grave the best part of the night


[Verse 4]

Gm                     
He went a few steps further and what did she spot?
Gm                      
Went a few steps further and what did she spy?
Gm                       Bb         Cm 
But a new dug grave and a sway lying by


[Verse 5]

Gm                      
He stabbed her in her heart and her heart's blood did flow
Gm                     
He stabbed her in her heart and her heart's blood did flow
Gm                        Bb        Cm 
And into the grave pretty Polly did go


[Verse 6]

Gm                          
Oh, gentlemen and ladies, I bid you farewell
Gm                      
Gentlemen and ladies, I bid you farewell
Gm                          Bb         Cm 
For killing pretty Polly my soul will go to hell.


[Verse 7]

Gm                         
It's a debt to the devil poor Willie must pay
Gm                          
It's a debt to the devil poor Willie must pay
Gm                          Bb         Cm 
For killing pretty Polly and running away.
