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