    In these ballads, dating mainly from the 1600 to 1700’s you will find the following tales:

    The ghost of a dearly departed summoned from the grave gives doleful warnings.

    A fair maid receives nocturnal visitations from a shape-shifting sea creature.

    Plus a serial killer, murder most foul, infanticide, love, lust, betrayal and the mother-in-law from hell!

    Not to mention the curious case of the Little Pig.

lyrics

PRETTY POLLY traditional

Polly, pretty Polly come go along with me
Polly, pretty Polly come go along with me
Before we get married some pleasure to see

William oh William I'm afraid of your ways
William oh William I'm afraid of your ways
I fear you will lead my poor body astray

Polly, pretty Polly you're guessing just right
Polly, pretty Polly you're guessing just right
I dug on your grave by the full moon last night

She stepped a few steps further and what did she spy
She stepped a few steps further and what did she spy
But a new duggen grave with a shovel lying by

She wept and she pleaded, begged for her life
Wept and she pleaded, she begged for her life
Bur his eyes showed no mercy, as he drew out his knife

He stabbed her in her heart, and her hearts blood did flow
He stabbed her in her heart, and her hearts blood did flow
And into the grave pretty Polly she did go

He threw a little dirt over her and started for home
He threw a little dirt over her and started for home
Leaving none but the wind and the wild birds to mourn

It's a debt to the devil young William must pay
It's a debt to the devil young William must pay
For killing pretty Polly and running away

Polly, pretty Polly come go along with me
Polly, pretty Polly come go along with me
Before we get married some pleasure to see
