Lyrics
(Folk song)
1. My horses ain’t hungry,
They won’t eat your hay.
So I’ll get on my pony,
I’m going away.
2. I know you’re my Polly,
I’m not going to stay.
So come with me darlin’,
We’ll feed on the way.
3. With all our belongings,
We’ll ride ’til we come
To a lonely little cabin,
We’ll call it our home.
