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
