Molly and Johnny

 

Molly & Johnny they sat reposing

Under a bank of blooming roses

While at the sea the ship was waiting

That young couple sat repeating. Love farewell.

Darling farewell and it's all for parting. love farewell.

 

Oh Johnny dear now do not leave me

For your absence it would grieve me

For if you go where the cannons rattle

I fear my love will fell in battle. Love, farewell.

Darling farewell and it's all for parting. Love farewell.

 

Oh Molly dear, now do not mourn

For there's a relief at my returning

For when I get back from the war's alarm

I'll gently roll you in my arms. Love farewell.

Darling farewell and it's all for parting. Love farewell.

 

The old woman said now do not grieve me

Do not take my daughter from me

For if you do I will torment you

At my death my ghost will haunt you. Love Farewell.

Darling farewell and it's all for parting. Love farewell.

 

The ship now she sails on the briny ocean

Seeking out for high commotion

The trumpets sound and the drums are beating

Hush me boys for there's no retreating. Love farewell. D

arling farewell and it's all for parting. Love farewell.
