Said Johnny To Molly

歌詞

Said Johnny to Molly, "I am now going to leave you And do not be grieved at my going away For the more we are parted we'll always be true-hearted And again I'll return in the sweet month of May" Said Molly to Johnny, "Oh I will mourn for you And I will be grieved at your going away For you know very well that your absence does grieve me I'm afraid you would die in some strange country" "I'll dress myself up like a neat little sea boy Amidst awful dangers, I will stand dear friend And when that the lofty, high winds are a-blowing My dear, I'll be with you to plow the rough main" "Your two little hands, love, our ropes could not handle Your two little feet, love, our decks could not stand Nor the cold nights of winter, you never could endure them So stay at home, darling, to the sea's, do not go" Her two little arms 'round of his neck she entwined them And the clear crystal tears from her eyes they did flow And her lily-white hands on the decks she kept ringing Crying, "Oh, my beloved will I never see you more?" Come all you pretty fair maids that's inclined to marry Oh never to place your affections on the one For first they will court you and then they'll deceive you They will leave you as I'm left to mourn when they're gone
