Molly O'

[Verse 1] That ship of fools set sail Wasn't long till it ran aground You can hear the cries for mercy You can hear that wailing sound She was the last one to die Of the two thousand souls And the sea took her gently Delved in darkness and cold [Chorus] Molly O’ Like a ghost from the past To her we raise a glass Molly O' On the highest of tides May she rise to the sky [Verse 2] She was born in the east of Glanmire Just another sleepy Irish town With a suitcase full of redemption And a ticket for a ship that went down No distress signal was sent Molly O' was twenty-two When the surging walls of water Turned it into a graveyard in blue [Chorus] Molly O’ Like a ghost from the past To her we raise a glass Molly O' On the highest of tides May she rise up to the sky [Verse 3] That ship of fools has sailed Won't take long till it runs aground You can hear those mamas weeping From Halifax to London town She danced on the sacred walls And watched that black water rise The ocean don't give up the dead A bit of Molly still inside [Chorus] Molly O' Like a ghost from the past To her we raise a glass Molly O' To the lies and the truth That fell out of you Molly O' You can't let it roll You gotta rise up the fall Molly O’ On the highest of tides May she rise to the sky
