Handsome Molly Lyrics - Bob Dylan

(First release, Live version "Second Gaslight Tape", late 1962—Traditional, arranged by Bob Dylan) 

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.
