Molly Lyrics - John Denver

This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the Take Me To 

Tomorrow album, and has also been released on the Reflections and The Country 

Roads Collection albums. 

When I was a young man 

I ran away trom home 

I went to join the circus 

Went to see the cotton candy whirl 

And make me lots ot money on my own 

For Molly, oh my pretty Molly 

But she's waiting all alone 

Someday soon I will return to her

Then I made the big time 

Bright 11ghts show biz 

I'm really in the circus 

There's only one thing wrong 

I haven抰 saved a peony on my own 

For Molly, oh my pretty Molly 

But she's writing everyday 

Molly understands so it's okay 

Ride a windy box car 

See a thousand children young and old 

Oh that grease paint smile 

Can hide your soul 

Here comes a carrousel 

Guess which town it is 

Feel the thrill 

Grease paint covers everything 

But winters chill 

Photos 

I抦 reading Molly抯 letter 

The ink is fading 

And the page is fuming yellow 

Long ago I promised Molly 

Don抰 you know I 

I will close my eyes and go to her
