[Verse 1]
Bb C Bb C
Come all ye young fellas That handle a gun
Bb C Bb C
Beware of night rambling By the setting of the sun
Bb C Bb C
And beware of an accident That happened of late
Bb C Bb C
To young Molly Bán And sad was her fate
[Verse 2]
Bb C Bb C
She was going to her uncles When a shower came on
Bb C Bb C
She went under a green bush The shower to shun
Bb C Bb C
Her white apron wrapped around her He took her for a swan
Bb C Bb C
But a hush and a sigh 'Twas his own Molly Bán
[Verse 3]
Bb C Bb C
He quickly ran to her And found she was dead
Bb C Bb C
And there on her bosom Many salt-tears he shed
Bb C Bb C
He ran home to his father With his gun in his hand
Bb C Bb C
Saying "Father dear father I have shot Molly Bán"
[Chorus]
Bb C Bb C
Her white apron wrapped around her He took her for a swan
Bb C Bb C
But a hush and a sigh'Twas his own Molly Bán
[Solo]

Bb C Bb C
[Verse 4]
Bb C Bb C
He roamed near the place Where his true love was slain
Bb C Bb C
He wept bitter tears But his cries were in vain
Bb C Bb C
As he looked on the lake A swan glided by
Bb C Bb C
And the sun slowly sank In the gray of the sky
