Verse 1
C#
The Queen, she wants sailors
to sail on the sea
D
Which made pretty Polly stout
C#
-hearted to bleed
Saying, William, dear William,
Db
don't you go to sea
Remember the vows that
Db
you made un to me
Note was hurly next morning
C#
before it was day.
He went to his Polly,
Db
these words he did say,
Saying, Polly, pretty Polly,
Db
you must come along with me,
D
Before we are married,
Db
D
my friends, for to see.
He led her through groves
and through valleys so deep,
Which made pretty Polly to
sigh and to weep,
Saying, William, dear William,
you've led me astray,
On purpose my innocent life to betray.
Oh yes, dearest Polly,
it is true all I've said,
for all this long night
I've been digging your grave,
and the grave being open,
and the spade standing by,
which made pretty Polly
G
Db
D
to weep and to sigh.
Oh, pardon, dear William,
my innocent life.
F#
I never will regret
for to be your dear wife.
I'll travel the country over,
Db
all for to set you free.
Remember the vows
that you made unto me.
No pardon, no pardon,
Db
no pardon I'll give.
And with it he drew out a long
dagger knife.
He stabbed her to the heart
till the blood didn't flow,
And into the grave her
Db
fair body did throw.
Db
Now he buried her securely
in a fort quite sound,
Not thinking this body would
ever be found.
He then went on board for a sailor to go,
Not thinking this murder
would ever outgrow.
No, it was only one morning
Db
before it was day,
Our captain came up
and these words he did say,
Our ship she's in mornin'
and can I sail on?
There's a martyr on board
Db
D
which has lately been done.
No, I've jumped a sailor,
Db
indeed it's not me
D
Then I've jumped another,
the same he did say
Then I've jumped old William,
to stamp and to swear
D
Indeed it's not me, sir, I'll go and declare
D
Now he hastened to the forecastle with speed,
And he met his pretty Polly,
D
which made his heart bleed.
D
She ripped him, she stripped him,
D
she tore him in three,
Because he had murdered a baby and she.
