   F
My horses ain’t hungry,

They won’t eat your hay.
   F
So fare-thee-well Polly,
    Bb     F
I’m going away.

     F             Dm
Your parents don't like me
     F           Dm
They say I'm too poor
     F
They say I'm not worthy
   Bb         F    Bb  C
to enter your door

♫ Verse 2:
   F
My parents don't like you
       Bb         F
You're poor, I am told
         F
But it's your love i'm wanting
    Bb        F
Not silver or gold

     F             Dm
Then come with me, Polly,
      F            Dm
We'll ride till we come
   F
To some little cabin
      Bb          F     Db
We'll call it our home


♫ Verse 3:
       Gb
Though sparkin' is pleasure
    B          Gb
But partin' is grief
      Gb
And a false-hearted lover
   B            Gb    E  Gb
Is worse then a thief

  Gb              Ebm
A thief will just rob you
    Gm            Ebm
And take what you have
      Gb
But a false-hearted lover
     B               Gb     D
Will lead you to the grave

I’m going away.

Your parents don't like me

They say I'm too poor

to enter your door
