Verse 1:
  E minorEm           A minorAm
Now come all ye hunters who follow the gun
 E minorEm                     B7B7
Beware of your shooting at the setting of the sun
  E minorEm            A minorAm
For Polly's own true love he shot in the dark
  E minorEm            B7B7   E minorEm
But oh and alas Polly Vaughn was his mark

Chorus:
       E minorEm                      A minorAm
For she'd her apron wrapped about her and he took her for a swan
E minorEm           B7B7  E minorEm
Oh and alas it was she Polly Vaughn

Verse 2:
  E minorEm          A minorAm
He ran up beside her and saw that it was she
    E minorEm              B7B7
Cried "Polly oh Polly have I killed thee"
  E minorEm           A minorAm
He lifted up her head and saw that she was dead
   E minorEm               B7B7   E minorEm
And a fountain of tears for his true love he shed

Chorus:
       E minorEm                      A minorAm
For she'd her apron wrapped about her and he took her for a swan
E minorEm           B7B7  E minorEm
Oh and alas it was she Polly Vaughn

Verse 3:
    E minorEm            A minorAm
In the middle of the night Polly Vaughn did appear
    E minorEm               B7B7
Cried "Jimmy oh Jimmy you must have no fear;
   E minorEm                  A minorAm
Just tell them you were hunting when your trial day has come
  E minorEm               B7B7    E minorEm
And you won't be convicted for what you have done."

Chorus:
       E minorEm                      A minorAm
For she'd her apron wrapped about her and he took her for a swan
E minorEm           B7B7  E minorEm
Oh and alas it was she Polly Vaughn

Verse 4:
    E minorEm            A minorAm
In the middle of the trial Polly Vaughn did appear
    E minorEm                  B7B7
Crying "Uncle oh Uncle Jimmy Randall must go clear"
  E minorEm              A minorAm
The lawyers and the judges stood around in a row
    E minorEm                B7B7   A minorAm
In the middle Polly Vaughn like some fountian of snow

Chorus:
       E minorEm                      A minorAm
For she'd her apron wrapped about her and he took her for a swan
E minorEm           B7B7  E minorEm
Oh and alas it was she Polly Vaughn
E minorEm           B7B7  E minorEm
Oh and alas it was she Polly Vaughn
