[Verse 1] You came through the door with your coat full of rain, A red wool scarf and a laugh like a train. You set down your gloves by the old wooden chair, And every good fellow turned round to stare. [Pre-Chorus] I raised up my glass, though my hands trembled true, For the room found its music the moment I saw you. [Chorus] Oh, Molly, my dear, come sit by my side, Let the whole tavern know you’re my heart’s pride. With your hand in my hand and your cheek near mine, I’d cross every hill for your love, Molly mine. [Verse 2] You dance like a wheel on the village green, With a bright blue ribbon and eyes sharp and keen. When winter comes knocking and the hearth burns low, Your words keep a fire no north wind can blow. [Pre-Chorus] So pour one for friendship, and pour one anew, For the luckiest rogue in the room is me with you. [Chorus] Oh, Molly, my dear, come sit by my side, Let the whole tavern know you’re my heart’s pride. With your hand in my hand and your cheek near mine, I’d cross every hill for your love, Molly mine. [Bridge] If the road bends west, I will follow your tread, If the sea calls east, I’ll be there in your stead. No castle, no crown, no treasure I’d choose Over one quiet morning beside you. [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] Oh, Molly, my dear, come sit by my side, Let the whole tavern know you’re my heart’s pride. With your hand in my hand and your cheek near mine, I’d cross every hill for your love, Molly mine. [Outro] Raise up the glasses, let old rafters ring, For Molly’s sweet love is the finest thing. Oh, Molly, my dear, till the last candle shines, I’ll sing for your love, my Molly mine.
