Well I wish was in London
Or some other seaport town
I’d set my foot on a steamboat
And sail the ocean round

Sailing around the ocean
Sailing around the sea
I think of Handsome Molly
Wherever she may be

Her hair as black as Raven’s
Her eyes were black as coal
Her teeth shown like lilies
Out in the morning cold

Now don’t you remember Molly
When you give me your right hand
Said if you ever married
Then I would be your man

Well I wish was in London
Or some other seaport town
I’d set my foot on a steamboat
And sail the ocean round

[1] Well I wish was in London
Or some other seaport [5] town
I’d set my foot on a steamboat
And sail the ocean [1] round

Sailing around the ocean
Sailing around the sea
I think of Handsome Molly
Wherever she may be

Her hair as black as Raven’s
Her eyes were black as coal
Her teeth shown like lilies
Out in the morning cold

Now don’t you remember Molly
When you give me your right hand
Said if you ever married
Then I would be your man

Well I wish was in London
Or some other seaport [5] town
I’d set my foot on a steamboat
And sail the ocean round
