Handsome Molly

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
My heart is broken
Till I get some ease

Well I wish that I was in London
Or some other seaport town
Step my foot in a steamboat
And sail the ocean round
