Kristin Hersh - Pretty Polly

Текст песни

Polly, pretty polly, come go along with me Polly, pretty polly, come go along with me Before we get married some pleasure to see
She got up behind him and away they did go She got up behind him and away they did go Over the hills to the valley so low
They went up a little farther and what did they spy?
They went up a little farther and what did they spy?
A newly dug grave with a spade lying by He stabbed her through the heart
Her hearts blood it did flow
He stabbed her through the heart
Her hearts blood it did flow
And into the grave pretty polly did go He threw something over her and turned to go home
He threw something over her and turned to go home
With nothing behind him but the girl there to mourn
Little birdy
Little birdy, little birdy
What makes you fly so high?
Its because I am a birdy
And Im not afraid to die
Little birdy, little birdy
Come sing me your song
Ive a short time to be here with you
And a long time, to be gone
Little birdy, little birdy
What makes your wing so blue?
Its because Ive been a-grievin
Grievin after you
Little birdy, little birdy
Come sing me your song
Ive a short time to be here with you
And a long time, to be gone
Little birdy, little birdy
What makes your head so red?
After all that I have been through
Its a wonder I aint dead
Little birdy, little birdy
Come sing me your song
Ive a short time to be here with you
And a long time, to be gone
