Handsome Molly - Frank Proffitt

Well I wish that I was in London

Or some other seaport town

Step my foot in a steamboat

And sail the ocean round

Sailing round the ocean

Sailing round the sea

I'd think of Handsome Molly

Wherever she may be

Well I saw her at church last Sunday

She passed me on by

I knew her mind was changing

By the rolling of her eye

Now do you remember Molly

When you give me your right hand

Said if you ever married

Then I'd be the man

Now you've broken your promise

Go marry whom you please

While my poor heart is a breakin'

You're goin' at your ease

Her hair is like a raven

Her eyes as black as coal

Cheeks they shone like lilies

Out in the mornin' glow

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
