歌曲歌詞
Come all you young fellows that handle a gun
Beware how you shoot when the night's coming on
For young Jimmy met his true love he mistook her for a swan
And he shot her and killed her by the setting of the sun
As Polly was walking all in a shower of rain
She sheltered in the green bush her beauty to save
With her apron throwed over her he mistook her for a swan
And he shot her and killed her by the setting of the sun
Then home ran young Jimmy with his dog and his gun
Crying uncle dear uncle have you heard what I done
I met my own true love I mistook her for a swan
And I shot her and killed her by the setting of the sun
Then out rushed his uncle with his locks hanging grey
Crying Jimmy oh dear Jimmy don't you run away
Don't leave your own country till the trial do come on
For they never will hang you for the shooting of a swan
Oh the girls of this country they're all glad we know
To see Polly Vaughan brought down so low
You could take them poor girls and set them in a row
And her beauty would outshine' em like a fountain of snow
Well the trial were on and Polly's ghost did appear
Crying uncle dear uncle let Jimmy go clear
For my apron was thrown round me he mistook me for a swan
And he never would have shot his own Polly Vaughan
