Polly Vaughn

Em   Am   Em   B7
Em   Am   Em   B7  Em


[Verse 1]
Em                     Am
  All ye brave huntsmen   who follow
 the gun
Em                          
  Beware of a-shooting at the 
  B7
setting of the sun
        Em                         
For her true love went a-huntin' 
     Am
and he   shot in the dark
    Em                B7          
But oh and alas Polly Vaughn was 
   Em
his mark.


[Chorus]
            G                      
She had her apron wrapped about her
                         B7
 and he took her for a swan
Em                   B7         
Oh and alas - it was she, Polly 
Em
Vaughn


[Verse 2]
Em                     Am
  He ran up beside her    when he 
found it was she
Em                                
  His legs they grew weak and his 
   B7
eyes could not see
     Em                            
He embraced her in his arms when he
 Am
 found she was dead
      Em                        B7
And a fountain of tears for his 
             Em
true love he shed


[Chorus]
            G                      
She had her apron wrapped about her
                         B7
 and he took her for a swan

Em                            Am
  He took her in his arms and    
home ran he
         Em                        
Crying: "Father, dear father, I've 
B7
shot fair Polly
     Em                           
I've shot that fair female in the 
Am
bloom of her life
      Em                      B7  
And I always intended to make her 
      Em
my wife"


[Chorus]
             G                     
"She had her apron wrapped about 
                          B7
her and I took her for a swan
Em                   B7         
Oh and alas - it was she, Polly 
Em
Vaughn"

[Verse 4]
Em                              
Midnight, in his chamber, Polly 
Am

        Em                         
Crying:    "Jimmy oh Jimmy you have
 B7
 nothing to fear

In the midst of his trial Polly 
 Am

Crying:   "Uncle dear Uncle Jimmy 
B7

Em                            
The judge and the lawyers stood 
   Am
around in a row
      Em                          
Polly Vaughn in the middle like a 
B7             Em
fountain of snow


[Chorus]
            G                      
She had her apron wrapped about her
                         B7
 and he took her for a swan
Em                   B7         
Oh and alas - it was she, Polly 
Em
