This is one of those songs that, I believe, works better without acompaniment. Just throw your head back and let your heart sing the words. That's the way I do it. I sing the verses in the third person but the chorus is in the first person.

Let me tell you of a hunter whose life was undone,
By the cruel hand of evil at the setting of the sun,
His arrow was loosed and it flew through the dark,
And his true love was slain as the faft found its mark.

But she'd her apron wrapped about her
And I took her for a swan,
And It's so and alas, it was she-e,
Polly Von.
