Verse: 1 
G 
I wish I were in London, 
                      D 
Or some other seaport town 
D 
Set my foot in a steamboat 
                    G 
And sail the ocean `round. 


Verse: 2 
G 
While sailing on the ocean, 
                     D 
While sailing on the sea 
D 
I'd think of handsome Molly 
                   G 
Wherever she might be.

Verse: 3 
G 
Remember Handsome Molly 
                            D 
When you gave me your right hand? 
D 
And you said if you were to marry 
                G 
Then I'd be the man. 


Verse: 4 
G 
But now you broke your promise 
                  D 
Go marry whom you please 
D 
While my poor heart is breaking 
                     G 
You're going at your ease.

Verse: 5 
G 
She goes to church on Sunday 
                     D 
And she passes me on by 
D 
I can tell her mind is changin' 
                     G 
By the roving of her eye. 


Verse: 6 
G 
Her hair is black as a raven 
                        D 
Her eyes are black as a crow 
D 
Her cheeks look like linens 
                   G 
out in the morning glow
