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
Chorus
While sailin` around the ocean, sailin` around the sea
I`m thinking of handsome Molly wherever she might be
Remember oh dear Molly when you gave me your right hand
You said if you were to marry that I would be your man
But now you broke your promise, go marry who you please
While my poor heart is a breakin` you`re goin` at your ease
Chorus
She goes to church on Sunday, she passes me on by
I can tell her love is changin` by the rovin` of her eye
Her hair is like a raven, eyes black as coal
Here cheeks they shown like lillies out in the mornin` glow
Chorus
