Molly

(альбом: Folk Song Book - 1964)

The war began, and Henry left his farm
Left his darling Molly with a baby in her arms
Now the war was over, and their life could begin
Molly saw her darling standing at the door again

It's so nice to hear your voice again, Molly
So nice to feel your arms around me, Molly

Oh, how happy I'd be if I only could see you sweet, sweet Molly
Please don't cry

Maybe I should have written
To let you know ahead of time
But I was afraid that you'd worry
If you knew that I'd gone blind

Do I hear you crying, Molly?
Please don't cry, you silly thing
See what you've done?
You've even brought a tear to my eye

Oh, how happy I'd be if I only could see you sweet, sweet Molly
Please don't cry

Where's my son? What does he look like, Molly?
Everyone says he took after me
Lord, I wish I could see
"Come here little man
Don't be afraid, I'm your daddy
I guess you'll get used to me in time," wont he, Molly?

It's so nice the hear your voice again, Molly
So nice to feel your arms around me Molly

Oh, how happy I'd be if I only could see you sweet, sweet Molly
Please don't cry, please don't cry
