Don't you remember, Molly, You gave me your right hand? You said if ever you'd marry I'd be your man But you broke your promise, Go with whom you please, My poor heart is aching You are at your ease. I went to church last Sunday, Molly came ridin' by; I could tell her mind was changing By the rovin' of her eye. I'll go down to the river, When everyone's asleep. I'll think of handsome Molly An' I'll begin ta weep. So I wish I was in London, Or some other seaport town; I'd put my foot on a steamboat, I'd sail the ocean 'round.
