Handsome Molly

Well, I wish I was in London, Or some other seaport town I'd put my foot on a steamboat I'd sail the ocean 'round. While sailing 'round the ocean, While sailing 'round the sea I'd think of handsome Molly Wherever she might be. Don't you remember, Molly You gave me your right hand? You said whenever you'd marry I would be the man. But you broke your promise Go with whom you please My poor heart is aching You are at your ease. I went to church last Sunday Molly came ridin' by I could tell her mind was changin' By the rovin' of her eye. molly's fair and handsom fingers long and small told me she's good natured and that's the best of all hair as black as ravens eyes as black as coal cheeks just like the lillies out in the morning grown I go down to the river wait till everyone's asleep I think of handsome Molly An' I begin to weep. So I wish I was in London, Or some other seaport town I'd put my foot on a steamboat I'd sail the ocean 'round.
