2.  Strophe:
Desmond takes a trolley to the jeweller's store,
Buys a twenty carat golden ring.
Takes it back to Molly, waiting at the door and
As he gives it to her she begins to sing.
Refrain:

3.  Strophe:
Happy ever after in the market place,
Desmond lets the children lend a hand.
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face and
In the evening she still sings it with the band.
Refrain:
