    C             Am          F            C
How sweet 'tis to roam by the sunny Suir's stream,

       G             G7             F           C
And to hear the dove coo 'neath the morning sun beam,

                         Am          F             C
Where the thrush and the robin their sweet notes entwine,

By your water so fair, sounds the lark's merry song,

                         Am            F           C
By your green banks I'll wander, where first I did join,

     G           F          G7          C
With you, lovely Molly, the rose of Mooncoin.

Oh Molly, dear Molly, it breaks my fond heart,

To know that we two forever must part,

I'll think of you, Molly, by sun and moonshine,

She has sailed far away o'er the dark rolling foam,

     G            G7           F          C
Far away from the hills of her dear Irish home,

Where the fishermen sports with his small boat and line,
