Wish I was in London
Some other seaport town
Step my foot on a steamboat
I'd sail the ocean round
Sail it round

Don't you remember, Molly?
You gave me your right hand
You said if we ever married
I would be the man
I'd be the man

While sailing round the ocean
Sailing round the sea
I'd dream of Handsome Molly
Wherever she might be
Where she might be

When I'm for miles and miles away
All on some distant shore
Among the rocks and mountains whеre
The wild beasts howl and roar
Thеy howl and roar

If I had a breast of glass
Wherein you might behold
Your name in secret I would write
In letters of bright gold
In bright gold
