W:Oh Polly love, oh Polly the rout has now begun
W:And we must go a marching at the beating of the drum
W:Go dress yourself all in your best and come along with me
W:I'll take you to the war me love in High Germany
W:
W:Oh Willy love, oh Willy come list to what I say
W:My feet they are so tender, I can not march away
W:And besides my dearest Willy I am with child by thee
W:Not fitted for the war me love in High Germany
W:
W:I'll buy for you a horse me love and on it you shall ride
W:And all my life I'll be there riding by your side
W:We'll stop at every ale-house and drink when we are dry
W:We'll be true to one another, get married bye and bye
W:
W:Oh cursed be the cruel wars that ever they should rise
W:And out of merry England press many a man likewise
W:They pressed my true love from me, likewise my brothers three
W:And sent them to the wars me lad in High Germany
W:
W:My friends I do not value nor my foes I do not fear
W:Now my love has left me I wander far and near
W:And when my baby it is born and smiling on my knee
W:I'll think of lovely Willy in High Germany
W:
W:Oh Polly love, oh Polly the rout has now begun
W:And we must go a marching at the beating of the drum
W:Go dress yourself all in your best and come along with me
W:I'll take you to the war me love in High Germany
