Cat. #1515 (MFH #250) - As sung by Donnie Koonce, Springfield, Missouri on March 13, 1975
VERSE 1
Well, I wish I was in London
Or some other seaport town
I'd set my feet on a steamboat
Sail th ocean 'round
CHORUS:
Sailin' around th ocean
Sailin' 'round th sea
I'd think of handsome Molly
Wherever she may be
VERSE 2
Now, she had hair like a raven
Her eyes were pure as gold
Her cheeks shone like lillies
Out in th mornin' cold
VERSE 3
Well, don't you remember Molly
When you gave me your hand
You said if we ever married
That I would be your man
VERSE 4
Well, I saw you in Church last Sunday
You passed me on by
I knew your mind was a changin'
By th rovin' of your eye
