about

This is Don's modest attempt to imagine through the admittedly fuzzy lens of western white privilege what it would be like to lose everything, try to escape to safety and asylum, and be hated and feared by many natives when they come to other countries seeking safety and a new home. When the Finnish government (among many others) are trying to claim that Iraq, Somalia and Afghanistan are "safe countries" to which refugees can be returned (often to their death) we can't keep our mouth shut.

lyrics

Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, please come along with me
Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, please come along with me
Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, please come along with me
Before we get married, some pleasure to see

He led her over hills and through valleys so steep
He led her over hills and through valleys so steep
He led her over hills and through valleys so steep
‘Til at last pretty Polly began to weep

She threw her arms around him, she was so full of fear
She threw her arms around him, she was so full of fear
She threw her arms around him, she was so full of fear
“I’m afraid you will harm the one who loves you so dear”

Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, you’ve guessed about right
Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, you’ve guessed about right
Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, you’ve guessed about right
For I dug on your grave the best part of last night

He stabbed her through the heart and the blood it did flow
He stabbed her through the heart and the blood it did flow
He stabbed her through the heart and the blood it did flow
And into the grave pretty Polly did go

He threw some dirt over her and turned to go home
He threw some dirt over her and turned to go home
He threw some dirt over her and turned to go home
Leaving no one there but the birds for to mourn

Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, please come along with me
Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, please come along with me
Pretty Polly, pretty Polly, please come along with me
Before we get married, some pleasure to see
