I wish I was in London
Or some other seaport town
I`ll set myself on a steamship
And I`ll sail the ocean round
While sailing around the ocean
While sailing around the sea
I dream of Handsome Molly
Wherever she might be
Her hair`s as black as raven
Her eyes as black as coal
Her teeth are like lilies
That in the morning glow
Oh, don`t you remember, Molly
You gave me your right hand
You said that if you married
Well I would be your man
And now you`ve 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 everyone`s asleep
I dream of handsome Molly
And sit right down and weep
I wish I was in London
Or some other seaport town
I`ll set myself on a steamship
And I`ll sail the ocean round
While sailing around the ocean
While sailing around the sea
I`d dream of Handsome Molly
Wherever she might be
