Handsome Molly from Hay Blackbird by Hay Blackbird

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 sailing around the ocean, sailing around the sea
Thinking of handsome Molly wherever she might be

Remember my sweet Molly, when you gave me you’re right hand
You said if you were married that I would be your man
Now you broke your promise, go marry who you please
While my poor heart is breaking you’re going at your ease

She goes to church on Sundays, passes me on by
I can tell her love is changing by the roving of her eye
Hair is like a raven, eyes as black as coal
Cheeks that shone like lillies out in the morning glow

I wish I was in London or some other seaport town
I’d set my foot on a steamboat and sail the ocean ‘round
