Molly-O Lyrics

In the shadow of a chestnut tree I hide
sword and a pistol by my side
Yeah, along came a traveler, laid him low
All for the love of my Molly-O.
I left my family, left my home
Out in the wicked world to roam
New roots older, I won't go
Down for the love of Molly-O.

Ooh, Molly, Ooh Molly, Ooh, Molly
All for the love of my Molly-O.
I love Molly, God only knows
Molly loves diamonds pearls and bows
Bangles beads and bells I bring
But Molly won't wear no wedding ring.

Ooh, Molly, Ooh Molly, Ooh, Molly
All for the love of my Molly-O.
Now men have died for lesser things
vengeance, country, God and kings
some day I'll swing from the gallows pole
One last dance for my Molly-O.

Ooh, Molly, Ooh Molly, Ooh, Molly
All for the love of my Molly-O.
