Parlor Song Songtext
von John Rapson

Sweet Polly Plunkett lay in the grass
Turned her eyes heavenward, sighing
"I am a lass who alas loves a lad
Who alas has a lass in Canterbury
′Tis a row dow diddle dow day
'Tis a row dow diddle dow dee..."


Sweet Polly Plunkett saw her life pass
Flew down the city road, crying
"I am a lass who alas loves a lad
Who alas has a lass loves another lad
Who once I had
In Canterbury
′Tis a row dow diddle dow day
'Tis a row dow diddle dow dee ..."
