Molly - Bill Anderson

The war began, and Henry left his farm

Left his darling Molly with a baby in her arms

Now the war was over, and their life could begin

Molly saw her darlin' standin' at the door again

It’s so nice to hear your voice again, Molly

So nice to feel your arms around me, Molly

Oh how happy I’d be if I only could see you sweet, sweet Molly

Please don’t cry

Maybe I should have written

To let you know ahead of time

But I was afraid that you’d worry

If you knew that I’d gone blind

Do I hear you cryin', Molly?

Please don’t cry, you silly thing

See what you’ve done?

You’ve even brought a tear to my eye

Oh how happy i’d be if i only could see you sweet, sweet Molly

Please dont cry

Wheres my son?

What does he look like, Molly?

Everyone says he took after me

Lord, I wish I could see

«Come here little man;

Don’t be afraid, I’m your daddy

I guess you’ll get used to me in time,» won’t he, Molly?

It’s so nice the hear your voice again, Molly

So nice to feel your arms around me Molly

Oh how happy I’d be if I only could see you sweet, sweet Molly

Please dont cry, please dont cry
