Polly Pillicote
Language: English
Down in yonder meadow where the green grass grows Pretty Polly Pillicote bleaches her clothes; She sang, she sang, she sang, O so sweet, She sang O come over, O come over, across the street. He kissed her, he kissed her, he bought her a gown, A gown of rich cramasie out of the town; He bought her a gown and a guinea gold ring, A guinea, a guinea, a guinea, a guinea gold ring. Down in yonder meadow where the green grass grows Pretty Polly Pillicote bleaches her clothes; She sang, she sang, she sang, O so sweet, She sang O come over, O come over, across the street.
