Handsome Molly Songtext

von Mick Jagger

I wish I was in London
Or some other seaport town
I'd set myself on a steamship
And I sail the ocean round

While I'm sailin'around the ocean
While I'm sailin'around the sea
I dream of Handsmoe Molly
Whereever she might be

Her hair as black as raven
Her eyes as black as coal
Her teeth are like lilies
That in the morning glow

Oh, don't you remember Molly
You gave me your right hand
You said, that if you marry
Well I would be your man

And now you've gone and left me
Go on with who you please
My poor heart is aching here
Lying at your ease

I go down to the river
When ev'vryone's asleep
I dream of Handsome Molly
And I sit right down and weep

I wish I was in London
Or some other seaport town
I'd set myself on a steamship
And I sail the ocean round
