Handsome Molly - Tim O'Brien

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

Remember oh dear Molly when you gave me your right hand

You said if you were to marry that I would be your man

But now you broke your promise, go marry who you please

While my poor heart is a breakin' you’re goin' at your ease

She goes to church on Sunday, she passes me on by

I can tell her love is changin' by the rovin' of her eye

Her hair is like a raven, eyes black as coal

Here cheeks they shown like lillies out in the mornin' glow
