Shovels Rope Pretty Polly Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Polly was girl not yet sixteen
I met her by the lake in the fall
Our love unfurled like a [?] dream
It's a shame I had to go and waste it all

[Verse 2]
When we were together everything was alright
We shared everything [?] we shared
Easy like a feather 'til that warm midnight
When she [hit me?] under my spell and I couldn't let her go
[?] she would [?]
My eyes were turning into [rogue?]

[Pre-Chorus]
I couldn't let her go
I couldn't let her stay
I buried pretty Polly in a [?] grave

[Chorus]
Now she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid laid
She laid, she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid lay

[Verse 3]
Stranded in a [?] parking lot
No gas, no money, no [?]
Promised to a promise that I wouldn't get caught
But the cops [?] 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


[Pre-Chorus]
I couldn't let her go
I couldn't let her stay
I buried pretty Polly in a [?] grave

[Chorus]
Now she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid laid
She laid, she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid lay

[Bridge]
I couldn't let her go
I couldn't let her stay
I ran like hell
I ran anyway
I ran like hell
From that hill that I make
From the mouth of [?]
From the mouth of the [?]
Poor pretty Polly
The [?]

[Chorus]
Now she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid laid
She laid, she laid, she laid, she laid, she laid lay
She laid, she laid, she laid, she laid
She laid, she laid, she laid, she laid
She laid, she laid, she laid, she laid
