Run Molly, Run Lyrics - Kingston Trio

Run Molly, run 

(Oh, Molly) 

Run Molly, run 

Long John's gonna beat you 

Beneath the shinin' sun 

Long John was the youngest horse 

And Molly was the old 

Molly was an old gray mare 

And he was a stallion bold 

Oh, Lordy, he was a stallion bold 

Long John said to Molly 

"You're runnin' your last race 

'Cause when I turn my head around 

I'm gonna see your face, old gal 

I'm gonna see your face" 

Molly said to Long John 

"Don't take me for a fool 

If you didn't cut your ears and tail 

I'd think you were a mule 

(Yeah) 

I'd think you were a mule" 

Long John, he got mad 

Oh, Lord, and shook his wooly mane 

"Last time that I run, old girl 

I beat the Memphis train 

I beat the Memphis train" 

Run Molly, run 

(Oh, Molly) 

Run Molly, run 

Long John's gonna beat you 

Beneath the shinin' sun 

See them waitin' on the track 

The man, he hollered, "Go" 

Long John runnin' fast 

Lord, Molly runnin' slow 

Molly runnin' slow 

Long John said to Molly 

"Take a last look at the sky 

'Cause baby when I pass you by 

My dust's gonna blind your eye 

Oh, Lord, my dust's gonna blind your eye" 

Run, Molly, run 

Look out for the turn 

Oh, Lordy, Lordy, here she comes 

Long John beatin' Molly 

Wait, what do I see? 

Molly passin' Long John 

Molly runnin' free 

Oh, Lordy, Molly runnin' free 

Run Molly, run 

(Oh Molly) 

Run Molly, run 

Put old Long John out to stud 

And let old Molly run
