Lyrics
Polly was a girl not yet sixteen I met her by the lake in the fall Our love unfurled like a warm, sick dream It's a shame I had to go and waste it all When we were together everything was alright We shared everything we could share Easy like a feather 'til that one midnight When she hit me with that undermined spell and I couldn't let her go For the challenge she would bear My eyes were turning into rope I couldn't let her go I couldn't let her stay I buried pretty Polly in a poor, pathetic grave Now she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid, laid Oh, she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid, laid Stranded in the deadly parking lot No gas, no money, no law Promised to a promise that I wouldn't get caught But the dark star handed me a gun and I couldn't let her go All the beauty up above I could never control I couldn't let her go I couldn't let her go I couldn't let her stay I pressed pretty Polly in a poor, pathetic grave Now she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid, laid Oh, she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid, laid I couldn't let her go I couldn't let her stay I ran like hell I ran away I ran like hell From the hell that I made From the mouth of our beds From the mouth of the bed Poor pretty Polly The roof and the prayin' Now she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid, laid Oh, she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid, laid She laid, she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid She laid, she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid She laid, she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid
