Polly Vaughn [Ukrainian translation]

All ye brave huntsmen who follow the gun

Be careful when shooting at the setting of the sun

For her true love went hunting and he shot in the dark

But oh and alas Polly Vaughn was his mark.

She had her apron wrapped about her

and he took her for a swan

Oh and oh –

it was she, Polly Vaughn

So, he ran up beside her when he saw it was she

His heart it did race and his legs they grew weak

He embraced her in his arms but he found she was dead

And a fountain of tears for his true love he shed

She had her apron wrapped about her

and he took her for a swan

Oh and alas –

it was she, Polly Vaughn

Well, he picked her up and home ran he

Crying: "Father, father, I've shot fair Polly

I've shot that female in the bloom of her life

And I always wanted to make her my wife

She had her apron wrapped about her

and I took her for a swan

Oh and alas –

it was she, Polly Vaughn”

Early next morning at the first light he ran

Away from the forest and into the town

Intending to flee and desperate to leave

His hope, the country, poor broken Polly

She had her apron wrapped about her

and he took her for a swan

Oh and alas –

it was she, Polly Vaughn

But midnight, in his chamber, Polly Vaughn did appear

Crying: "Jimmy dear Jimmy you have nothing to fear

Stay in this land till your trial comes on

you shall not be punished for the killing of a swan

In the midst of the trial Polly Vaughn did appear

Crying out to everyone: " Jimmy Randall must be cleared"

All in the courtroom stood silent, froze

Polly Vaughn in the middle like a fountain of snow
