Intro
C
[Verse 1]
F C
When I was a young boy, my papaw played me songs
F C Dm
He’d sing that Pretty Polly, and I’d listen all night long
C F C Dm
Those sounds went straight into my soul, sitting on his cabin floor
C F C
But I ain’t playing Pretty Polly anymore
[Verse 2]
F C
When Granny was a young girl, she had to hold her own
F C Dm
She told my little sister, don’t get with a man alone
C F C Dm
Down in the Willow Garden, wasn’t some old metaphor
C F C
So I ain’t playing Willow Garden anymore
[Chorus]
F G C F
I ain’t playing Pretty Polly or Rosalie McFall
G C F
I ain’t playing Knoxville Girl, no, none of them at all
G C F
No more tales of women killed by drunken violent men
G C F
They don’t deserve their stories told, I won’t raise my voice again
C F C
I ain’t playing Pretty Polly anymore
[Verse 3]
F C
Cause I know some stories, men like my Uncle Clyde
F C Dm
He spent seven decades at my Aunt Myrtle’s side
C F C Dm
Kentucky teens who fell in love in 1934
C F C Dm
They had to leave the mountains to find work in Baltimore
C F C Dm
She tended their young family while he fought for them in the war
C F C Dm
And she still holds his picture and looks for him at the door
C F C Dm
Though she just turned 100 and he passed 12 years before
C F C
So I ain’t playing Pretty Polly anymore
[Chorus]
F G C F
I ain’t playing Pretty Polly or Rosalie McFall
G C F
I ain’t playing Knoxville Girl, no, none of them at all
G C F
No more tales of women killed by drunken violent men
G C F
They don’t deserve their stories told, I won’t raise my voice again
C F C
And I ain’t playing Pretty Polly anymore
[Outro]
C F C
I ain’t playing Pretty Polly anymore
C F C
I ain’t playing Pretty Polly anymore
