One score opens in D major with a 2/4 time signature, another opens in G major with 4/4, and a third has no sharps or flats with 2/2.

Check the notation before choosing

Because the versions differ at the opening, look beyond the title when choosing. Check the first few bars, the clef and range, and whether the notation suits your purpose. The available information does not establish a difficulty level or a preferred instrumentation for any of these scores, so those choices should be made from the notation itself.

Composer credit and attribution

The scores listed for “Polly Put the Kettle On” show no composer name. That absence is not evidence that the tune has no author or that any particular attribution is correct. Treat the title as the reliable link between these scores, and do not assume a composer from the title alone.
