Em 

Em                        D 
His heart it fell for her darkened eyes 
  Bm                                  Em 
A night of fleeting passion changed a young mans life 
    Em                 D 
His arms held tight, a dream come true 
    Bm                             Em 
Sun shining on her skin as soft as morning dew 
G              D 
In his arms forever bound  
    Bm                       Em 
The love of Molly Green from Dooley Downs. 

Em                        D 
Will you marry me? I will build a house 
    Bm                                 Em 
For all our dark eyed children and for you my wife 
          Em               D 
I've been saving so you'll soon see gold 
        Bm                               Em 
But for now this ring of wire is all the love I hold 
     G                    D 
I'll work my body till my bones turn brown 
     Bm                           Em 
Come away with me dear Molly from Dooley Downs. 

Em                             D 
She drew back her hand and she said I cannot

For I love another man from Inverlock 
    Em                    D 
How handsome is he and he owns his own land 
    Bm                           Em 
And he can give me more than any ringer can 
   G                               D 
He holds back his tears though his heart still pounds

For the love of Molly Green from Dooley Downs 

Em                         D 
The blade it sliced in the moonlit stream 
        Bm                             Em 
And the dingo gullies howling with the bloody screams 
   Em                     D 
He fell to his knees with blood stained hands 
   Bm                             Em 
If I can't have my darling Molly. no one can 
G              D 
In his arms forever bound 
    Bm                       Em 
The love of Molly Green from Dooley Downs 

G                   D 
Just a ringer and a heart that pounds 
        Bm                       Em 
For the love of Molly Green from Dooley Downs. 

G   D   Bm    Em
