Polly Von
Peter, Paul And Mary
Ton : D
I shalDml tell of a hunter whoGmse life was undone
By theDm cruel hand of evil at the settinA7g of the sun
His aDmrrow was loosed and flew thrGmough the dark,
And hisDm true love was slain as tGm7he shaA7ft found its Dmmark.
[Refrain :]
She'd her Fapron wrapped about her
And he took her forA7 a swan
But it'sDm / Dm7 oh and alas it wasGm7 she, A7 PollyDm Von
He ran up beside her and found it was she
He turned away his head for he could not bear to see
He lifted her up and found she was dead,
A fountain of tears for his true love, he shed.
[Refrain]
He bore her away to his home by the sea
Cryin'"Father, oh father, I murdered poor Polly !
I've killed my fair love in the flower of her life !
I always intended that she be my wife."
[Refrain]
He roamed near the place where his true love was slain
He wept bitter tears, but his cries were all in vain.
As he looked on the lake, a swan glided by
And the sun slowly sank in the grey of the sky.
