come​ ​all​ ​you​ ​young​ ​fellows
that​ ​carry​ ​a​ ​gun
i’ll​ ​have​ ​you​ ​come​ ​home
by​ ​the​ ​light​ ​of​ ​the​ ​sun

for​ ​jimmy​ ​was​ ​hunting
and​ ​hunting​ ​alone
when​ ​he​ ​shot​ ​his​ ​true​ ​love
in​ ​the​ ​room​ ​of​ ​a​ ​swan

polly​ ​went​ ​out​ ​in​ ​a​ ​shower​ ​of​ ​hail
she​ ​crept​ ​to​ ​the​ ​bushes
herself​ ​to​ ​conceal
with​ ​her​ ​apr-n​ ​pulled​ ​o’er​ ​her
he​ ​took​ ​her​ ​for​ ​a​ ​swan
he​ ​aimed,​ ​he​ ​fired
and​ ​k!lled​ ​his​ ​polly​ ​vaughn

then​ ​home​ ​rushed​ ​young​ ​jimmy
his​ ​dog,​ ​and​ ​his​ ​gun
crying,​ ​”uncle,​ ​dear​ ​uncle
oh,​ ​what​ ​have​ ​i​ ​done?
oh,​ ​cursed​ ​be​ ​the​ ​gunsmith
that​ ​made​ ​my​ ​old​ ​gun
for​ ​i​ ​shot​ ​my​ ​true​ ​love
in​ ​the​ ​room​ ​of​ ​a​ ​swan!”

then​ ​out​ ​rushed​ ​bold​ ​uncle
his​ ​locks​ ​hanging​ ​grey
crying,​ ​”jimmy​ ​dear​ ​jimmy
don’t​ ​you​ ​run​ ​away
don’t​ ​leave​ ​the​ ​county
till​ ​your​ ​trials​ ​come​ ​on
for​ ​they​ ​never​ ​would​ ​hang​ ​you
for​ ​shooting​ ​a​ ​swan.”

the​ ​funeral​ ​of​ ​polly,​ ​it​ ​was​ ​a​ ​brave​ ​sight
four​ ​and​ ​twenty​ ​young​ ​men
all​ ​dressed​ ​in​ ​white
they​ ​brought​ ​her​ ​to​ ​the​ ​graveyard
laid​ ​her​ ​in​ ​the​ ​grave
all​ ​said,​ ​”goodbye​ ​polly!”
and​ ​went​ ​weeping​ ​away

in​ ​six​ ​weeks​ ​time
the​ ​trial​ ​was​ ​on
and​ ​polly​ ​appeared
in​ ​the​ ​room​ ​of​ ​a​ ​swan
crying,​ ​”judge,​ ​oh​ ​jury
let​ ​jimmy​ ​go​ ​clear
for​ ​he​ ​never​ ​should​ ​hang
for​ ​shooting​ ​his​ ​dear!
my​ ​apr-n​ ​was​ ​bound​ ​around​ ​me
and​ ​he​ ​took​ ​me​ ​for​ ​a​ ​swan
and​ ​my​ ​poor​ ​heart​ ​lay​ ​a’bleeding
all​ ​on​ ​the​ ​wet,​ ​green​ ​ground
