Handsome Molly 1 Traditional

29 July 1961 THE ROAR OF A WAVE (T-966) LIFE AND LIFE ONLY RADIO & TV 1961-1965 ECHO'S ALBUM HELP! (vinyl bootleg)

Saturday of Folk Music, Riverside Church, NYC - 29.jul.1961 Oh 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. While sailing around the ocean While sailing around the sea I'd think of handsome Molly Wherever she might be. She rode to church a-Sunday She passed me on by I saw her mind was changing By the roving of her eye. Don't you remember, Molly When you gave me your right hand? You said if you ever marry That I'd be the man. Now you've broke your promise Go home with who you please While my poor heart is aching You're lying at your ease. Hair was black as a raven Her eyes was black as coal Her cheeks was like lilies Out in the morning grown.
