เพลง Polly Von

Polly Von - Peter/Les Paul and Mary Ford/Peter, Paul & Mary (彼得、保罗和玛丽)

I shall tell of a hunter whose life was undone

By the cruel hand of evil at the setting of the sun

His arrow was loosed and it flew through the dark

And his true love was slain as the shaft found it's mark

She'd her apron wrapped about her and he took her for a swan

But it's oh and alas it was she polly 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

She'd her apron wrapped about her and he took her for a swan

But it's oh and alas it was she polly von

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

But she'd her apron wrapped about her

And I took her for a swan

And it's oh and alas it was she polly von

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

She'd her apron wrapped about her and he took her for a swan

But it's oh and alas it was she polly von
