HANDSOME MOLLY

I WISH I WAS IN LONDON
OR SOME OTHER SEAPORT TOWN
SET MY FOOT ON A STEAMBOAT
AND SAIL THE OCEAN 'ROUND
OH SAILING 'ROUND THE OCEAN
OH SAILING 'ROUND THE SEA
I THINK OF HANDSOME MOLLY
WHEREVER SHE MAY BE

WHEREVER SHE MAY BE
WHEREVER SHE MAY BE
I THINK OF HANDSOME MOLLY
WHEREVER SHE MAY BE
----------------------------------------

I SAW YOU IN CHURCH LAST SUNDAY
YOU PASSED ME ON BY
I KNEW YOUR MIND WAS CHANGING
BY THE ROVING OF YOUR EYES
HER HAIR WAS DARK AS A RAVEN
HER EYES WERE DARK AS COAL
HER CHEEKS SHONE LIKE LILLIES
OUT IN THE MORNING GLOW

DO YOU REMEMBER MOLLY
WHEN YOU GAVE ME YOUR RIGHT HAND
SAID IF YOU EVER MARRIED
I WOULD BE YOUR MAN
BUT NOW YOU BROKE YOUR PROMISE
GO MARY WOULD YOU PLEASE
A WHOLE LOT OF BREAKING
YOUR GOIN'AT YOUR EASE
