I wish I was in Fleetwood or some other seaport town
To set my foot in a steamboat and sail the ocean round
Sailing round the ocean, sailing round the sea
I'll think of handsome Molly wherever she may be
Molly is fair and handsome, her hands are neat and small
She is quite good looking and that's the best of all
With her hair as black as ravens, her lips as red as the rose
Her cheeks are like the lily that in the garden grows
But I went to church last Sunday and Molly passed me by
I knew her heart was changing by the roving of her eye
By the roving of her eye, by the roving of her eye
I knew her heart was changing by the roving of her eye
Don't you remember, Molly, when you gave me your right hand?
You said that if you married that I would be the man
Now you've broke your promise, go home with who you please
My poor heart is aching while you're lying at your ease
I'll go down to the river when everyone's asleep
I'll think of handsome Molly and I'll hang my head and weep
Oh, I'll hang my head and weep, I'll hang my head and weep
I'll think of handsome Molly and I'll hang my head and weep
ย
Molly, handsome Molly, although you hurt me so
You know I'll always love you wherever you may go
Sailing round the ocean, sailing round the sea
I'll think of handsome Molly wherever she may be
Oh, I wish I was in Fleetwood or some other seaport town
To set my foot in a steamboat and sail the ocean round
Sailing round the ocean, sailing round the sea
I'll think of handsome Molly wherever she may be
