Handsome Molly Lyrics - Tim O'brien

Well, I wish I was in London 

Or some other seaport town 

I'd set my foot on a steamboat 

And sail the ocean 'round 

While sailin' around the ocean 

Sailin' around the sea 

I'm thinking of handsome Molly 

Wherever she might be 

Oh remember, oh dear Molly 

When you gave me your right hand 

You said if you were to marry 

That I would be your man 

Well, now you broke your promise 

Go and marry who you please 

While my poor heart is a breakin' 

You're goin' at your ease 

While sailin' around the ocean 

Sailin' around the sea 

I'm thinking of handsome Molly 

Wherever she might be 

Well, she goes to church on Sunday 

She passes me on by 

I can tell her love is changin' 

By the rovin' in her eye 

Her hair is like a raven 

Her eyes as black as coal 

Cheeks they shone like lilies 

Out in the mornin' glow 

While sailin' around the ocean 

Sailin' around the sea 

I'm thinking of handsome Molly 

Wherever she might be 

While sailin' around the ocean 

Sailin' around the sea 

I'm thinking of handsome Molly 

Wherever she might be 

While sailin' around the ocean 

Sailin' around the sea 

I'm thinking of handsome Molly 

Wherever she might be
