Intro: Verse: 1 I wish I were in London, Or some other seaport town Set my foot in a steamboat And sail the ocean `round. Verse: 2 While sailing on the ocean, While sailing on the sea I'd think of handsome Molly Wherever she might be. Break Verse: 3 Remember Handsome Molly When you gave me your right hand? And you said if you were to marry Then I'd be the man. Verse: 4 But now you broke your promise Go marry whom you please While my poor heart is breaking You're going at your ease. Break: Verse: 5 She goes to church on Sunday And she passes me on by I can tell her mind is changin' By the roving of her eye. Verse: 6 Her hair is black as a raven Her eyes are black as a crow Her cheeks look like linens out in the morning glow Break: Verse: 7 I wish I were in London, Or some other seaport town Set my foot in a steamboat And sail the ocean `round. Verse: 8 While sailing on the ocean, While sailing on the sea I'd think of handsome Molly Wherever she might be.
