(Traditional)
|
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
|
