I wish I was in London,
Or some other seaport 5 town,
Set my foot on a steamboat,
And sail the ocean 1 'round.
Sailing 'round the ocean,
Sailing 'round the 5 sea,
Think of Handsome Molly,
Wherever she may 1 be.
Her hair was black as a raven,
Her eyes were dark as coal,
Her cheeks shone like the lilies,
Out in the morning glow.
Do you remember Molly,
When you gave me your right hand,
And said if you ever married,
That I would be your man.
But now you've broken your promise,
Go marry whom you please,
While my poor heart is breaking,
You're going at your ease.
I'll go down to the river,
When everyone's asleep,
I'll think of handsome Molly,
And then sit down and weep.
