Handsome Molly Lyrics

Handsome Molly lyrics

Well I wish I was in London 

Or some other seaport town 

I'd set my foot on a steamboat 

And sail the ocean round 



Chorus 

While sailin' around the ocean, sailin' around the sea 

I'm thinking of handsome Molly wherever she might be 



Remember oh dear Molly when you gave me your right hand 

You said if you were to marry that I would be your man 

But now you broke your promise, go marry who you please 

While my poor heart is a breakin' you're goin' at your ease 



Chorus 



She goes to church on Sunday, she passes me on by 

I can tell her love is changin' by the rovin' of her eye 

Her hair is like a raven, eyes black as coal 

Here cheeks they shown like lillies out in the mornin' glow 



Chorus
