I wish I were in London or some other seaport town I'd set my foot on a steamship and sail the ocean round.
I'd sail upon the ocean while sailing on the sea & think of Handsome Molly wherever she might be.
Remember Handsome Molly when you gave me your right hand.
You said if you ever married that I would be that man.
Said if you ever married that I would be that man.
My love was one from cities far Nursed on a lonesome heath.
Her lips were red as roses are.
Her hair a woodbine wreath.
Well I went to church on Sunday and I watched as she passed by.
I could tell her mind was changing by the roving of her eye.
I would be that man.
I would be that man.
She said if we ever married that I would be that man.
