Will you still be watching for me when
the ships return next year?
When you've had a time without me;to
yourself,and all alone?
I could not promise,nor take your
pledging,when I could not give an
answer.
So;don't you stay here my sweet
Molly.I'll not be coming home.
It was fortunes fickle doing,that led
me from your loving arms.
No blame is placed;so hush your crying.
You ever were my cup of cheer.
Young men will wander;far from their
homeland;all thoughts forsaking;to see
the world.
Yet when they go out;they soon
discover;the thing they sought for,was
always here.
Please tell your father;I've gone
aroving,and your mother;She'll
understand.
They'll take you back girl;they love
you dearly;as did another;that you have
known.
And find a new love;have lots of
children;don't waste your life on such
as me.
You'll not remember,and I'll not blame
you,or e'er forget you;sweet Molly
Malone.
