Early next morning this fair maid arose, She dressed herself in a suit of men's clothes, Coat, waistcoat and breeches, and sword by her side On her father's black gelding like a dragoon she did ride. She rode till she came to fair London town, She dismounted her horse at the sign of the crown; The first that came to her was a man from above, The next that came down was Polly Oliver's true love. "Good evening, good evening, kind captain" said she, "Here's a letter from your true love Polly Oliver," said she. He opened the letter and a guinea was found, For him and his companions to drink her health round. Supper being ended, she held down her head And called for a candle to light her to bed; The captain made this reply, "I have a bed at my ease, You may lie with me, countryman, if you please." To lie with a captain is a dangerous thing, I'm a new enlisted soldier to fight for my king; To fight for my king by sea and by land, Since you are my captain, I'll be at your command." Early next morning this fair maid arose, And dressed herself in her own suit of clothes, And downstairs she came from her chamber above, Saying, " Here is Polly Oliver, your own true love." He at first was surprised, but laughed at the fun, And then they were married and all things were done; "If I had laid with you the first night, the fault had been mine, I hope to please you better, love, for now is the time." From an English broadside, 1840; tune from Kidson, Traditional Tunes. @transvestite @reunion filename[ POLLOLVR play.exe POLLOLVR RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Popular Wobbly, Portugal Native Anthem Text, Posie, Poverty Hill, Poverty Knock, Preacher And The Slave, Precious Lord, Pressers, Pretty Babes In The Wood, Pretty Little Bird, Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly Perkins Of Paddington Green, Pretty Saro, Price Of Freedom, Pride Of Glencoe, Prisoners Song, Private John Q, Pro Musica Antiqua, Process Man, Programmers Lament, Prominent Bar In Secaucus, Provincials Farewell, Psv Clubsong, Public Bar, Puddy And The Mouse, Puff The Magic Dragon, Punch And Judy, Put Another Log On The Fire, Put It In A Cool Dry Place, Putting On The Style, Quantrell, Quare Bungle Rye, Quartermaster Corps, Queen Eleanors Confession, Queen Of Connemara, Queen Of Elfans Nourice, Queen Of Hearts, Queen Of The Rails, Rabbis Daughter, Racing With My Heart, Raftsmans Song, Ragged But Right, Raging Canal Two In The Middle, Raging Canoe Sent My Brown Jug Etc, Ragtime Cowboy Joe, Ragtime Suffragette, Rail Cutters, Railroad Bill, Railroad Bill And The Kitten, Rake And Rambling Boy, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
