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