Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 33
MOLLY, O!
Copyright, 1891, by T. B. Harms & Co.
Written and sung by Wm. J. Scanlan
She's plain Molly, O, simple and sweet;
My heart Is gone, I lay me at her feet;
So light her tread, so fond her gaze.
Who would not love my Molly, dear?
Clouds are but sunshine, skies ever clear,
Happy am I, lads, when Molly is near;
Heart's fondest echo, love's sweet refrain,
Still call me back to my Molly again.
Chorus.
She's plain Molly, O, simple and sweet;
She's plain Molly, O-her heart is love's retreat;
She's plain Molly, O, lovely, divine;
Oh, would that I could call Molly mine.
Brave soldiers may war, heroes may die.
With Molly, dear, the world I would defy.
Tender her heart, loving and true,
Flowers of the valley call her queen.
So like the lily, so like the rose,
Her laugh's like the sunshine to nature's repose;
Her eyes are jewels, more rich and bright
Than those in heaven that sparkle at night.-Chorus.
