[Intro] G D G [Verse 1]
G
I wish I were in London,

                      D
Or some other seaport town

D
Set my foot in a steamboat

                    G
And sail the ocean `round.
[Verse 2]
G
While sailing on the ocean,

                     D
While sailing on the sea

I'd think of handsome Molly

                   G
Wherever she might be.

G
Remember Handsome Molly

                            D
When you gave me your right hand?

D
And you said if you were to marry

                G
Then I'd be the man.
[Verse 4]
G
But now you broke your promise

                  D
Go marry whom you please

D
While my poor heart is breaking

                     G
You're going at your ease.

G
She goes to church on Sunday

                     D
And she passes me on by

D
I can tell her mind is changin'

                     G
By the roving of her eye.
[Verse 6]
G
Her hair is black as a raven

                        D
Her eyes are black as a crow

D
Her cheeks look like linens

                   G
out in the morning glow
