[00:09.03]There used to be a gambler who courted all around
[00:14.52]There used to be a gambler who courted all around
[00:20.13]He courted Pretty Polly, such beauty'd never been found
[00:24.15]Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, come go along with me
[00:34.29]Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, come go along with me
[00:39.81]Before we get married some pleasures to see
[00:49.35]She jumped up behind him and away they did go
[00:54.81]She jumped up behind him and away they did go
[00:58.47]Down into the valley that was far below
[01:00.84]He rode her over hills and valleys so deep
[01:04.05]He rode her over hills and valleys so deep
[01:07.59]Pretty Polly mistrusted and then began to weep
[01:10.44]They went a little further and what did they spy?
[01:15.60]They went a little further and what did they spy?
[01:21.09]But a newly-dug grave with a spade lying by
[01:31.47]Oh Willy, hey Willy, I'm afraid of your ways
[01:36.60]Oh Willy, hey Willy, I'm afraid of your ways
[01:43.26]I'm afraid you will lead my poor body astray
[01:51.72]Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, your guess is about right
[01:57.42]Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, your guess is about right
[02:03.09]I've dug on your grave the better part of last night
[02:07.14]She knelt down before him pleading for her life
[02:08.13]She knelt down before him pleading for her life
[02:09.09]Please let me be a single girl if I can't be your wife
[02:11.34]Then he stabbed her in the heart till her heart's blood did flow
[02:17.13]He stabbed her in the heart till her heart's blood did flow
[02:23.07]And into the grave Pretty Polly did go
[02:26.64]He threw something over her and turned to go home
[02:28.59]He threw something over her and turned to go home
[02:29.79]Leaving nothing behind him but the girl left to mourn
[02:31.05]He went down to the jailhouse and what did he say
[02:32.64]He went down to the jailhouse and what did he say
[02:33.75]I killed Pretty Polly and tried to get away
[02:34.80]Now gentlemen and ladies, I bid you farewell
[02:37.41]Now gentlemen and ladies I bid you farewell
[02:42.33]For killing Pretty Polly my soul will go to hell
[02:44.46]Now a debt to the devil that Willy must pay
[02:48.57]A debt to the devil that Willy must pay
[02:56.07]For killing pretty Polly and running away
