Molly Darling
Billy Walker · Cross the Brazos at Waco [Bear Family (Germany)] [1993]
Won't you tell me Molly, darling
That you love none else but me
For I love you Molly, darling
You are all the world to me.
Oh, tell me, darling, that you love me
Put your little hand in mine
Take my heart sweet Molly, darling
Say you'll always be just mine.
Stars are shining Molly, darling
Through a misty veil of night
They seem laughing Molly, darling
While they seem to hide their light.
Oh, no one listens but the flowers
While they hang their heads in shame
They are modest Molly, darling
When they hear me call your name.
Molly fairest sweetest, dearest
Look up, darling, tell me this
Do you love me Molly, darling
Let your answer be a kiss...
