Lyrics

Molly-O

[Verse]

In the shadow of a chestnut tree, I hide

Sword and a pistol by my side

Along come a traveler, lay him low

All for the love of my Molly-O

[Verse]

I left my family, left my home

Out in the wicked world to roam

No road so low I won't go

Down for the love of my Molly-O

[Chorus]

Oh Molly

Oh Molly

Oh Molly

All for the love of my Molly-O

[Verse]

I love Molly, God only knows

Molly love diamonds, pearls, and gold

Bangles, beads, and bells I bring

But Molly won’t wear no wedding ring

[Chorus]

Oh Molly

Oh Molly

Oh Molly

All for the love of my Molly-O

[Chorus]

Oh Molly

Oh Molly

Oh Molly

All for the love of my Molly-O

[Verse]

Men have died for lesser things

Vengeance, country, God, and King

Someday I’ll swing from the gallows pole

One final dance for my Molly-O

[Chorus]

Oh Molly

Oh Molly

Oh Molly

All for the love of my Molly-O

[Chorus]

Oh Molly

Oh Molly

Oh Molly

All for the love of my Molly-O
