I wish I was in london
Or some other seaport town
Ill set myself on a steamship
And Ill sail the ocean round
While sailing around the ocean
While sailing around the sea
I dream of handsome molly
Wherever she might be
Her hairs as black as raven
Her eyes as black as coal
Her teeth are like lilies
That in the morning glow
Oh, dont you remember, molly
You gave me your right hand
You said that if you married
Well I would be your man
And now youve gone and left me
Go on with who you please
My poor heart is aching here
Lying at your ease
And I go down to the river
When everyones asleep
I dream of handsome molly
And sit right down and weep
I wish I was in london
Or some other seaport town
Ill set myself on a steamship
And Ill sail the ocean round
While sailing around the ocean
While sailing around the sea
Id dream of handsome molly
Wherever she might be
