Oh gentlemen and ladies, bid you arewell Gentlemen and ladies, bid you arewell For killing retty Polly my soul will go to hell.

3 Notes to erormer or laying Pretty Polly Vocal Range: Written or untrained emale voice, though could be transosed an octave down or male voice. Folkstyle, Broken Grace Notes in the Vocal Line Exale, mm Grace notes, which aear oten throughout the iece, are to be sung on the beat o the rimary note that ollows. For instance, the A grace note in the second bar o the exale is sung on the downbeat o the bar, not beore. Grace notes should all be quickly articulated, with a slight accent, and slurred unto the ollowing rimary note. They are meant to mimic the broken grace note common in English, rish and Bluegrass olk singing. *Ta Exression, mm Exale, m. 104 For this taing eect, lace your right hand horizontally, alm down, on a resonant art o the ront wood o the bass, near the ingerboard and above the hole. The lower symbol with the wedgeshaed note head indicates a light bu with the leshy, heel o the alm on the ront o the bass that causes resonant thu on the resonating box o the instrument. The higher, xshaed note head indicates a shar ta on the wood with the tis o the ingers. Alternating between the alm thu and the inger ta should create a comortable wavelike motion in the hand. Either mute the strings with the let hand while taing, or do not, as indicated on the score. Ta/Sla Exression, mm Exale, m. 124 n this instance, bu bass with right alm as described above, and sla all oen strings in a comortable lace on the end o the ingerboard, and let vibrate. (Sla chord is notated slightly to the right o the ta, but occurs on the same beat).
