1. I once had a wee lass And I loved her well, I loved her far better Than my tongue can tell, Her parents disliked me For my want of years, So adieu to all pleasure Since I lost my dear. 2. Then I dreamt last night That my love came in, And she walked up so soft That her feet made no din. I thought that she spoke And those words she did say, "It won't be long now, love, Till our wedding day." 3. Then according to promise At midnight I rose And found nothing there But the down-folded clothes, The sheets they were empty, As plain as you see, And out of the window With another went she. |
4. Oh, it's Molly, lovely Molly, What's this that you have done? You have pulled the thistle, Left the red rose behind; The thistle will wither And decay away soon, But the red rose will flourish In the merry month of June. 5. Then if I was a fisherman Down by the seaside And Molly a salmon, Coming in with the tide, I would cast out my net And catch her in a snare, I would have lovely Molly, I vow and declare. 6. Or if I was an eagle And had two wings to fly, I would fly to my love's castle And it's there I would lie, ln a bed of green ivy I would leave myself down, With my two folded wings I would my love surround. |
