[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                                            B7
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                                            B7
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                                            B7
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                                            B7
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
