Molly

(album: Tell It All Brother - 1971)

Molly never had a chance to have a love affair
Her mom stayed sick and her dad stayed drunk
And her baby sister never seemed to care
When her body ached for loving, she just took it all with a smile
And baby sister made the rounds and left Molly with her child

Now Molly's got her hands full, raising baby sister's child
Every time she holds it close a tear rolls from her eye
Cause her mama's gone to heaven and her dad is god knows where
And baby sister's in LA with flowers in her hair

Now Molly's got no one to love or to be loved by except a child
That her baby sister didn't want because she said it cramped her style
Don't cry little baby, somebody needs you now
Molly will kiss you, rock you to sleep and make it all up somehow
Molly will kiss you, rock you to sleep and make it up all up somehow
