I wish I was in London
Or some other seaport town
I'll set myself on a steamship
And I'll sail the ocean round
While sailing around the ocean
While sailing around the sea
I dream of Handsome Molly
Wherever she might be
Her hair's as black as raven
Her eyes as black as coal
Her teeth are like lilies
That in the morning glow
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/m/mick+jagger/handsome+molly_20216430.html ]
Oh, don't you remember, Molly
You gave me your right hand
You said that if you married
Well I would be your man
And now you've gone and left me
Go on with who you please
My poor heart is aching here
Lying at your ease
And I go down to the river
When everyone's asleep
I dream of handsome Molly
And sit right down and weep
I wish I was in London
Or some other seaport town
I'll set myself on a steamship
And I'll sail the ocean round
While sailing around the ocean
While sailing around the sea
I'd dream of Handsome Molly
Wherever she might be
