But, Indeed pretty Polly there is one thing I would tell you
That is to ask me to your wedding love
And I will do the same
You'd need never mind, a husband you will find
If there's any such a thing
If there is any such a thing
If there is any such a thing in this world to be had

So she wrote him a letter to come to her wedding
To come to her wedding on the ninth day of June
This letter he reads, and his poor heart did bleed
Crying, Oh I have lost her
Oh, I have lost her, Crying
Oh, I have lost her, I have lost her indeed

So with saddle and bridle he rode to her station
He rode to the place where pretty Polly did dwell
And when he got there, it's troubles and snares
The bride and the bridegroom
The bride and the bridegroom,
The bride and the bridegroom they was out on the floor

Well, indeed pretty Polly - If only I'd have known it
If only I had of known love, you'd be married so soon
We would have married, no longer would have tarried
So step up beside me love
Step up beside me love
Step up beside me love and leave him alone

Well, indeed pretty William, I once loved you dearly
And in your sweet company I took great delight
But remember you said when a man once is wed
He was free from all liberty
Bowed down to hard slavery
So we are both free love, I bid you good night
