Molly Bã¡n Lyrics

Come all ye young fellows

That handle a gun

Beware of night
rambling

By the setting of the sun



And beware of an
accident

That happened of late

To young Molly Bán

And sad was
her fate



She was going to her uncles

When a shower came
on

She went under a green bush

The shower to shun



Her
white apron wrapped around her

He took her for a swan

But a hush
and a sigh

T'was his own Molly Bán



He quickly ran to her

And found she was dead

And there on her bosom

Many salt tears he
shed



He ran home to his father

With his gun in his hand

Saying "Father dear father

I have shot Molly Bán"



Her
white apron wrapped around her

He took her for a swan

But a hush
and a sigh

T'was his own Molly Bán



He roamed near the
place

Where his true love she was slain

He wept bitter tears

But his cries were in vain



As he look on the lake

A swan
glided by

And the sun slowly sank

In the gray ol' sky
