I wish I was in London
Or some other sea port town
I'd set my foot on a steamboat
That'd sail the ocean around

Sail across the ocean
Sailing across the sea
I think of handsome Molly
Where ever I may be

Her eyes were dark as raisins
Her hair was black as coal
And she's the finest lady
Where ever I may go

Do you remember Molly
When you gave me your right hand
You swore that if you married
I would be your man

I went to Church on Sunday
I saw her go on by
I knew her love was changing
By the rolling of her eyes
