Handsome Molly

I wish I was in London Or some other seaport town I'll set myself on a steamship And I'll sail the ocean round While sailing around the ocean While sailing around the sea I dream of Handsome Molly Wherever she might be Her hair's as black as raven Her eyes as black as coal Her teeth are like lilies That in the morning glow Oh, don't you remember, Molly You gave me your right hand You said that if you married Well I would be your man And now you've gone and left me Go on with who you please My poor heart is aching here Lying at your ease And I go down to the river When everyone's asleep I dream of handsome Molly And sit right down and weep I wish I was in London Or some other seaport town I'll set myself on a steamship And I'll sail the ocean round While sailing around the ocean While sailing around the sea I'd dream of Handsome Molly Wherever she might be
