Handsome Molly
Traditional
I wish I was in London
Or some other seaport town
I'd set my foot on the ocean
I'd sail the ocean round
While sailing on the ocean
While sailing on 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 if you should marry
I would be your man
Now you’ve broke your promise
You go with who you please
While my poor heart is aching
Your lying at your ease
Hair as black as a raven
Eyes as black as coal
Her cheeks were like the lilies
Out in the morning grown
