W:Verse 1
W:I Wish I was in London,
W:Or some other seaport town,
W:I'd set my foot on a steam boat,
W:And sail the ocean round.
W:
W:While sailing round the ocean,
W:While sailing round the sea,
W:I'd think of handsome Molly,
W:Wherever she might be.

W:Verse 2
W:Her hair was black as a raven,
W:Her eyes as black as coal,
W:Her teeth were like the lilies,
W:Out in the morning cold.
W:
W:I went to church last Sunday,
W:And she passed me on by,
W:I could tell her heart was changing,
W:By the roving of her eye.

W:Verse 3
W:Don't you remember, Molly,
W:When you gave me your right hand?
W:You said if ever you married,
W:I would be your man.
W:
W:Now you have broke your promise,
W:Go home with who you please,
W:While my poor heart is breaking,
W:Here lying at your ease.
