Cat. #0381 (MFH #250) - As sung by Mr. Dillard Reeves, Huntsville, Arkansas on July 30, 1959
VERSE 1
I wish I was in London
E'r some little seaport town
I'd set my foot in a steamboat
I'd sail this ocean 'round
VERSE 2
I'd sail 'round the ocean
I'd sail 'round th sea
I'd think of handsome Molly
Wherever she might be
VERSE 3
Her eyes were black as ravens
Her hair was black as coal
Her cheeks were like lilies
Out in th morning glow
VERSE 4
Don't you remember Molly
When ya took me by th hand
You said, if you ever married
That I would be th man
VERSE 5
Now, you have broke your promise
Go marry who you please
Now my poor heart is aching
Your courting at your ease
