Molly Bán (Bawn)

Lyrics

Come all ye young fellas
 That handle a gun
 Beware of night rambling
 By the setting of the sun
 And beware of an accident
 That happened of late
 To young Molly Ban
 And sad was her fate
 ♪
 She was going to her uncles
 When a shower came on
 She went under a green bush
 The shower to shun
 
 Her white apron wrapped around her
 He took her for a swan
 But a hush and sigh
 Was his own Molly Ban
 ♪
 He quickly ran to her
 And found she was dead
 And there on her bosom
 Where he soaked, tears he shed
 He ran home to his father
 With his gun in his hand
 Saying "Father dear father
 I have shot Molly Ban"
 Her white apron wrapped around her
 He took her for a swan
 But a hush and a sigh
 'Twas his own Molly Ban
 He roamed near the place
 Where his true love was slain
 He wept bitter tears
 But his cries were in vain
 As he look on the lake
 A swan glided by
 And the sun slowly sank
 In the gray up sky
