Verse 1
in yonder valley
pretty Polly did dwell
She was courted by a captain
A
D
A
who loved her so well
D
But when her cruel parents
G
came this fortune now
D
They parted pretty poorly
in her own true love
One night she lay losing on her bed
And a sudden strange fancy
A
come to Polly's head
D
No father, no mother
shall make me fall through
G
D
I'll list for a soldier and follow my love
A
Then coat and breeches she put on
D
And in every degree,
A
D
A
she looked like a man
D
She went to the stable,
G
six horses she found
D
And saddled a mare,
A
D
could travel the ground
And with a brace of pistols
G
swung by her side
D
Like a United States soldier,
A
D
Pretty Polly did ride.
She rode, she rode,
and she come to the town,
And there she put up
A
at the sign of their crown.
D
Now the first one she met with
was an English Lord,
G
D
And the next in was Captain
A
D
Pretty Polly's true love
What news from the country,
A
D
what news do you bring?
She handed him a letter
A
from Polly O'Day
D
He opened the letter,
G
two pages he found
A
D
Saying Polly is a soldier
A
D
G
A
D
A
D
with men all around
Now Polly being weary
she hung down her head
And she called for a candle
A
to light her to bed
D
G
The captain, said, I've a bed at my ease
D
And you may lie with me,
kind sir, if you please
Well, to lie with a captain
A
D
is to lie with a king
I'm a United States soldier
from George Washington,
A
D
I claim I'll fight for my liberty
G
by sea and by land
D
A
If you'll be my captain,
D
I'll be your command
Our Polly is married, she lives at her ease
She goes out when she's ready,
A
returns when she please
D
She left her old parents
G
to weep and to mourn
D
A
Saying Polly, oh Polly,
D
A
when will you return?
