I wish I was in London or some other seaport town Set my foot on a steamboat and sail the ocean ’round 
Chorus Sailing ’round the ocean sailing ’round the sea Think of Handsome Molly wherever she may be 
I saw you in church last Sunday you passed me on by I knew your mind was changing by the roving of your eye 
Her hair was black as a raven her eyes were dark as coal Her cheeks shone like the lilies out in the morning glow 
Do you remember Molly when you gave me your right hand And said if you ever married that I would be your man 
But now you’ve broken your promise go marry whom you please While my poor heart is breaking you’re going at your ease 
I’ll go down to the river when everyone’s asleep I’ll think of handsome Molly and then sit down and weep
