Handsome Molly

Lyrics

Well I wish that I was in London
 Or some other seaport town
 Step my foot in a steamboat
 And sail the ocean round
 Sailing round the ocean
 Sailing round the sea
 I'd think of Handsome Molly
 Wherever she may be
 Well I saw her at church on Sunday
 She passed me on by
 I knew her mind was changing
 By the rolling of her eye
 Don'lt you remember Molly
 When you give me your right hand
 Said if you ever married
 Then I'd be the man
 Sailing round the ocean
 Sailing round the sea
 I'd think of Handsome Molly
 Wherever she may be
 Now you've broke your promise
 Go marry who you please
 Why my poor heart is ache'in
 and hopin' to get some ease
 Her hair was black as a raven
 Her eyes were black as coal
 Her cheeks was like lilies
 Out in the morning grown.
 Sailing round the ocean
 Sailing round the sea
 I'd think of Handsome Molly
 Wherever she may be
