about

An old British courting folksong. Not written to be a duet, Hilary and Jesse take turns on the verses of this one.

lyrics

Handsome Molly
Well I wish was in London
Or some old seaport town
Step my foot in a steamboat
And I’d sail the world around

   Sailing across the ocean
   Sailing across the sea
   Think of Handsome Molly
   Wherever she may be

Her hair was as dark as a Raven’s
Her eyes were black as coal
Teeth as white as lillies
Out in the morning cold

Don’t you remember Molly
When you give me your right hand
Said that we would marry
And I would be your man

Now you’ve broken your promise
Go marry whom you please
Still my heart is achin’
‘Til I give it ease
