Pretty Polly- Alfred Stride (Hamp) 1907 Gardiner
[Single stanza from George Gardiner Manuscript Collection (GG/1/11/698). The title as found in North America, appears to not fit the song- I've left it.

Pretty Polly- sung by Alfred Stride of Dibden, Hampshire on 19 June, 1907. Collectors: Gardiner, G.B. Guyer, John F.
In fair London city in Worcestershire
A handsome young damsel oh! there liv-ed there
A handsome young man courted her to be his dear
And he by his trade was a ship's carpenter.
