Lyrics

Handsome Molly

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I wish I was in London

Or some other seaport town

I'll set myself on a steamship

And I'll sail the ocean round

While sailing around the ocean

While sailing around the sea

I dream of Handsome Molly

Wherever she might be

Her hair's as black as raven

Her eyes as black as coal

Her teeth are like lilies

That in the morning glow

Oh, don't you remember, Molly

You gave me your right hand

You said that if you married

Well I would be your man

And now you've gone and left me

Go on with who you please

My poor heart is aching here

Lying at your ease

And I go down to the river

When everyone's asleep

I dream of handsome Molly

And sit right down and weep

I wish I was in London

Or some other seaport town

I'll set myself on a steamship

And I'll sail the ocean round

While sailing around the ocean

While sailing around the sea

I'd dream of Handsome Molly

Wherever she might be
