Handsome Molly

VERSE 1
I wish I were in London
Or some seaport town
Set my foot in a steamboat
Sail th ocean 'round

VERSE 2
While sailing o'er th ocean
While sailing o'er th sea
I'll think of handsome Molly
Wherever she may be

VERSE 3
O Molly, don't you remember
When you give me your right hand
You said, if you ever married
That I would be th man

VERSE 4
But now you've broke your promise
Go home wherever you please
While my poor heart is breakin'
While I am at your ease

VERSE 5
Her hair was black as a raven
Her eyes was black as a coal
Her cheeks was like two roses
In th morning glow

VERSE 6
O Molly, O Molly
Why do you treat me so
You know I'll always love you
Wherever you may go
