Notes
12 eclectic versions of the murder ballad, "Pretty Polly," also known as "The Cruel Ship's Carpenter" or "The Gosport Tragedy."
The song is of British origin, and became an American standard as well. The details of the story vary, but the basics are similar to Woody Allen's "Match Point" and sometimes there's a ghost! [TRT: 38:35]
