[00:00.00]High Germany - Pentangle
[00:29.00]Oh Polly love oh Polly the rout has now begun
[00:32.80]
[00:33.37]And we must march away at the beating of the drum
[00:37.23]
[00:37.76]Go dress yourself in all your best and come along with me
[00:41.81]I'll take you to the cruel wars in high Germany
[00:45.92]
[00:46.56]I fear the treacherous journey bitter cold and burning heat
[00:50.83]Rough roads and stony mountains they will wound my tender feet
[00:55.25]To your kinsmen I might prove untrue if from them I do go
[00:59.37]For maids must bide at their parents' side while the men do face the foe
[01:03.95]
[01:21.81]I'll buy for you a horse my love and on it you will ride
[01:25.61]
[01:26.21]Then all of my contentment shall be riding at my side
[01:30.53]We'll stop at every ale house and drink when we are dry
[01:34.60]So quickly on the road my love and marry by and by
[01:39.29]Oh billy love oh billy now mind what I do say
[01:43.09]
[01:43.66]My feet they are so tired I cannot go away
[01:47.53]
[01:48.06]Besides my dearest billy I am with child by thee
[01:52.01]Not fitting for the cruel wars in high Germany
[01:56.48]
[02:14.43]Oh Polly love oh Polly I love you very well
[02:18.60]There are few in any place my Polly can excel
[02:23.19]And when your babe is born and sits smiling on your knee
[02:27.25]You will think on your billy that's in high Germany
[02:32.01]Oh cursed be the cruel wars that ever they began
[02:35.82]
[02:36.35]For they have pressed my billy and many a clever man
[02:40.77]For they have pressed my billy likewise my brothers three
[02:44.86]And sent them to the cruel wars in high Germany
