[Verse 1]
Em Am
Now come all ye hunters who follow the gun
Em B7
Beware of your shooting at the setting of the sun
Em Am
For Polly's own true love he shot in the dark
Em B7 Em
But oh and alas Polly Vaughn was his mark
[Chorus]
Em Am
For she'd her apron wrapped about her and he took her for a swan
Em B7 Em
Oh and alas it was she Polly Vaughn
[Verse 2]
Em Am
He ran up beside her and saw that it was she
Em B7
Cried "Polly oh Polly have I killed thee"
Em Am
He lifted up her head and saw that she was dead
Em B7 Em
And a fountain of tears for his true love he shed
[Chorus]
Em Am
For she'd her apron wrapped about her and he took her for a swan
Em B7 Em
Oh and alas it was she Polly Vaughn
[Verse 3]
Em Am
In the middle of the night Polly Vaughn did appear
Em B7
Cried "Jimmy oh Jimmy you must have no fear;
Em Am
Just tell them you were hunting when your trial day has come
Em B7 Em
And you won't be convicted for what you have done."
[Chorus]
Em Am
For she'd her apron wrapped about her and he took her for a swan
Em B7 Em
Oh and alas it was she Polly Vaughn
[Verse 4]
Em Am
In the middle of the trial Polly Vaughn did appear
Em B7
Crying "Uncle oh Uncle Jimmy Randall must go clear"
Em Am
The lawyers and the judges stood around in a row
Em B7 Am
In the middle Polly Vaughn like some fountian of snow
[Chorus]
Em Am
For she'd her apron wrapped about her and he took her for a swan
Em B7 Em
Oh and alas it was she Polly Vaughn
Em B7 Em
Oh and alas it was she Polly Vaughn
