Molly-O

In the shadow of a chestnut tree I hide

sword and a pistol by my side

long come a traveler - lay him low

all for the love of my Molly-O

I left my family left my home

out in the wicked world to roam

no road so low I won't go down

for the love of my Molly-O

Oh Molly

Oh Molly

Oh Molly

All for the love of my Molly-O

I love Molly, God only knows

Molly love diamonds, pearls and gold

Bangles, Beads and Bells I bring

But Molly won’t wear no wedding ring

Men have died for lesser things

Vengeance, Country, God and King

Someday I’ll swing from the gallows pole

A final dance for my Molly-O
