[Verse 1]
Am Em Am
Oh Polly Oh Polly its for your sake alone,
Am
I have left my old Father, my Country, my home
Am
I have left my old Mother to weep and to mourn
Am Dm G Am
I am a rebel soldier, and far from my home
[Verse 2]
Am Em Am
The grape shot and musket and the cannons lumber lie
Am
Its many a mangled body the blanket for the shroud
Am
Its many a mangled body left on the fields alone
Am Dm G Am
I am a rebel soldier and far from my home
[Instrumental]
Am Em Am G Am
[Verse 3]
Am Em Am
Here is a good old cup of brandy and a glass of wine
Am
You can drink to your true love and I will drink to mine
Am
You can drink to your true love and I will lament and moan
Am Dm Am G Am
I am a rebel soldier and far from my home
[Verse 4]
Am Em Am
I will build me a castle on some green mountain high
Am
Where I can see Polly when she is passing by
Am
Where I can see Polly and help her to mourn
Am Dm Am G Am
I am a rebel soldier and far from my...home
