Handsome Molly

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



While sailin' around the ocean

Sailin' around the sea

I'm thinking of handsome Molly

Wherever she might be



Oh remember, oh dear Molly

When you gave me your right hand

You said if you were to marry

That I would be your man



Well, now you broke your promise

Go and marry who you please

While my poor heart is a breakin'

You're goin' at your ease



While sailin' around the ocean

Sailin' around the sea

I'm thinking of handsome Molly

Wherever she might be



Well, she goes to church on Sunday

She passes me on by

I can tell her love is changin'

By the rovin' in her eye



Her hair is like a raven

Her eyes as black as coal

Cheeks they shone like lilies

Out in the mornin' glow



While sailin' around the ocean

Sailin' around the sea

I'm thinking of handsome Molly

Wherever she might be



While sailin' around the ocean

Sailin' around the sea

I'm thinking of handsome Molly

Wherever she might be



While sailin' around the ocean

Sailin' around the sea

I'm thinking of handsome Molly

Wherever she might be
