Handsome Molly

Well, I wish I was in London

Or some other seaport town

I'd put my foot on a steamboat

I'd sail the ocean 'round

While sailing 'round the ocean

While sailing 'round the sea

I'd think of handsome Molly

Wherever she might be

Don't you remember, Molly

You gave me your right hand?

You said whenever you'd marry

I would be the man

But you broke your promise

Go with whom you please

My poor heart is aching

You are at your ease

I went to church last Sunday

Molly came ridin' by

I could tell her mind was changin

By the rovin' of her eye

I go down to the river

Though everyone's asleep

I think of handsome Molly

An' I begin to weep

So I wish I was in London

Or some other seaport town

I'd put my foot on a steamboat

I'd sail the ocean 'round
