HANDSOME MOLLY

Well I wish I was in London Or some other seaport town I'd put my foot on a steamboat And 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 whoever you 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 riding by I could tell her mind was changing By the folding of her eye I go down to the river For everyone to see I think of handsome Molly And I begin to weep So I wish I was in London Or some other seaport town I'd put my foot on a steamboat And sail the ocean round
