polly on the shore - coope, boyes and simpson lyrics

[intro]
she’s your polly
she’s your polly
she’s your polly
she’s your polly
she’s your polly
she’s your polly
she’s your polly on the shore

[verse]
she was used, she was abused, she never knew she was a victim
her drunken father’s pleasure before she was half grown
her ma ignored and she endured until one night in anger
she broke the bottle on his head, launched out on her own
[chorus]
so you can think that she’s your polly on the shorе
she’ll be your mother or your sistеr or your wh0re
she’ll be waving til you’re safely out of view
then she’s looking for another sailor gullible as you

[verse]
she headed down to sailor town, began her education
but polly knew the only way to win was fighting back
she learned the ropes and fleeced the dopes and dreamed above her station
she kept half of everything she ever stole from jack

[verse]
when the crimp said her ma was dead, she wished she could have cried
as rumours of her drunken murder spread to sailor town
but pa went free with drunken glee, so polly had him shanghaied
he woke up on a h*ll ship, yokohama bound

[chorus]
so you can think that she’s your polly on the shore
she’ll be your mother or your sister or your wh0re
she’ll be waving til you’re safely out of view
then she’s looking for another sailor gullible as you
[verse]
now polly dines with finest wine, she is quite the lady
she owns almost everything in dirty sailor town
polly hires and polly fires and polly says what may be
oh, but maybe polly can’t forget enough to settle down

[verse]
so you can think that she’s your polly on the shore
she’ll be your mother or your sister or your wh0re
she’ll be waving til you’re safely out of view
then she’s looking for a sailor, coastal fisherman or whaler
looking for another sailor gullible as you
