Stanley Brothers Handsome Molly lyrics

Stanley Brothers
An Evening Long Ago
Handsome Molly
Well I wish that I was in London
or some other seaport town.
Set my foot in a steamboat
and sail the ocean round.

Sailing round the ocean
sailing round the sea.
I'd think of Handsome Molly
wherever she may be.

Well I saw her at church last Sunday
she passed me on by.
I knew her mind was changing
by the roving of her eye.


Now do you remember Molly
when you give me your right hand.
Said if you ever married
I'd be your man.

Now you've broke your promise
Go marry whom you please.
My heart is broken
'till I get some ease.

Well I wish that I was in London
or some other seaport town.
Set my foot in a steamboat
and sail the ocean round.
