[A]
[Am] Oh, Polly, [A] oh, Polly, it's for your sake alone.
[Am]
I've left my old father, my country, my home.
[A]
I've left my [B] old mother [A] to weep in the [D] [Am] morning.
[A] I am a rebel [G] soldier and
[Em] far from [Am]
my home.
The grapeshot and musket and the cannon's lumber loud.
This many-mangled body, the blanket [A] for the shroud.
[Am] This many-mangled body left on the fields alone.
I am [A] a [G] rebel soldier and far from [Am] my home.
[G]
[Am]
Here's a good old cup [A] of brandy and a glass of wine.
[Em] [Am] You can drink to your true love and I will drink to mine.
You can drink to your true love and I'll lament in the morn.
I am a rebel [G]
soldier and far from [C] [Am] my home.
I'll build [A] me a castle on some green mountain high.
[Am] Where I can see Polly when she is passing by.
Where I can see Polly and her purple tomorrow.
I [A] am a rebel [G]
soldier and far from [A] my home.
[Am]
I am a rebel [G]
soldier and far from [Am] my home.
