Handsome Molly — текст песни (Bob Dylan)

(first release, live version "second gaslight tape", late 1962traditional, arranged by bob dylan)



Well, I wish I was in london,

Or some other seaport town

Id put my foot on a steamboat

Id sail the ocean round.



While sailing round the ocean,

While sailing round the sea

Id think of handsome molly

Wherever she might be.



Dont you remember, molly

You gave me your right hand?

You said whenever youd marry

I would be the man.



But you broke your promise

Go with whom you please

My poor heart is aching

You are at your ease.



I went to church last sunday

Molly came ridin by

I could tell her mind was changin

By the rovin of her eye.



I go down to the river

Though everyones asleep

I think of handsome molly

An I begin to weep.



So I wish I was in london,

Or some other seaport town

Id put my foot on a steamboat

Id sail the ocean round.
