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