Em                       Am        G
Oh Polly Oh Polly its for your sake alone
Em                             Am        G
I have left my old Father, my Country, my home
Em                             Am        G
I have left my old Mother to weep and to mourn
C                                    G
I am a rebel soldier, and far from my home

Em                                  Am      G
The grape shot and musket and the cannons lumber loud
Em                           Am              G
Its many a mangled body the blanket for the shroud
Em                                Am        G
Its many a mangled body left on the fields alone
C                                   G
I am a rebel soldier and far from my home

Em                                   Am        G
Here is a good old cup of brandy and a glass of wine
Em                                         Am       G
You can drink to your true love and I will drink to mine
Em                                         Am         G
You can drink to your true love and I will lament and moan
C                                   G
I am a rebel soldier and far from my home

Em                              Am             G
I will build me a castle on some green mountain high
Em                                Am      G
Where I can see Polly when she is passing by
Em                          Am        G
Where I can see Polly and help her to mourn
C                                     G
I am a rebel soldier and far from my home
