I dream of pretty Polly forever lying free**
Hard has been my fortune,
sad has been my fate
Came unto my love's door, expecting to get in
Instead of finding
pleasures, my troubles did begin
Stood their one hour as patient as Job
Polly,
pretty Polly, come open the door
I saw another man enjoy within room
I walk-ed away by the
light of the moon
I took to my heels just as hard as I could go
Rambled way down by
the far shady grove
There I sat down with a bottle in my hand
Drinking of brandy and
thinking of that man
BREAK
In the morning so early pretty Polly passed me
by
Red rosy cheeks and her dark sparkling eye
Her hair was so dark and here eyes they were
the same
I'm wounded in the heart did you ever feel that pain
I wish I was a
fisherman on yon river side
And Polly my object come floating down the tide
I'd throw my
net around her and haul her to the shore
I'd have my darlin' and we'd quarrel no
more
Green grows the laurel and likewise the rue
Sugar is sweet but not like
you
Since it is no better, I'm glad it is no worse
Brandy in my bottle and money in my
purse
From the singing of Bill Day in 1987
** I missed recording
the first verse and made up this one.
