Thread Name: Lyr Req: Polly and the Sailor (Carolyne Hughes)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Carolyne Hughes's Pretty Polly & Sailor
I was wrong in writing "pretty" Polly, it is Polly and the Sailor.

This is the situation at the moment:

Oh I says my Pretty Polly I am going for to leave you just across the briny sea
Now I thinks my (sounds like "appertation / appartage")now will stay (...) when I'm far away on sea
You can see the sailors singing, you can see the tides a-tossing
You can hear the sailors singing just where my time it used (?) to roam (?)

Now 'tis seven long years makes a great alteration since my love returned on shore
We will set the bells a-ringin', oftimes hearin' sailors singin'
Oftimes hearin' sailors singing don't you think you (?) enjoy yoursel'

After the singing, Carolyne Hughes explains the song.

If someone is willing to help me with this song, I could send a mail with the file. Roberto
