[00:19.50]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[00:28.85]I shall tell of a hunter,
[00:31.84]whose life was undone.
[00:35.60]By the cruel hand of evil,
[00:38.22]at the setting of the sun.
[00:42.25]His arrow was loosed,
[00:44.81]and it flew through the dark.
[00:48.68]And his true love was slain,
[00:50.99]as the shaft found its mark.
[00:57.44]
[00:58.53]She'd her apron wrapped about her,
[01:01.27]and he took her for a swan!
[01:05.38]And it's oh and alas it was she,
[01:10.15]Polly Von.
[01:14.56]
[01:16.39]He ran up beside her and found it was she.
[01:22.58]He turned away his head,
[01:25.13]for he could not bear to see.
[01:29.59]He lifted her up and found she was dead,
[01:36.10]A fountain of tears for his true love,
[01:41.14]he shed.
[01:45.66]
[01:46.32]She'd her apron wrapped about her,
[01:48.99]and he took her for a swan!
[01:52.80]And it's oh and alas it was she,
[01:57.81]Polly Von.
[02:02.29]
[02:03.66]He bore her away to his home by the sea.
[02:09.79]Cryin father, oh father,
[02:12.51]I murdered poor Polly!
[02:16.37]Ive killed my fair love,
[02:18.93]in the flower of her life!
[02:22.92]I always intended that she be my wife.
[02:31.44]
[02:32.77]But she'd her apron wrapped about her,
[02:35.43]And I took her for a swan!
[02:39.75]And it's oh and alas it was she,
[02:44.29]Polly Von.
[02:48.84]
[03:14.43]He roamed near the place,
[03:16.81]where his true love was slain.
[03:20.97]He wept bitter tears,
[03:23.20]but his cries were all in vain.
[03:27.20]As he looked on the lake, a swan glided by.
[03:33.68]And the sun slowly sank in the grey,
[03:37.88]of the sky.
[03:42.26]
[03:43.74]She'd her apron wrapped about her,
[03:46.26]and he took her for a swan!
[03:50.01]And it's oh and alas it was she,
[03:55.02]Polly Von.
