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 darling
Standing at the door again

It's so nice to hear
Your voice again Molly
It's so nice to feel
Your arms around me Molly

Oh, how happy I'd be
If I only could see
You my sweet Molly
(Molly Molly)
Please don't cry
(Please don't cry)

Maybe I should have written
To let you know ahead of time
But I was afraid that you'd worry Molly
If you knew that I'd gone blind

Do I hear you crying Molly
Oh, please don't cry you silly thing
See what you've done
You've even brought a tear into my eyes

Oh, how happy I'd be
If I only could see
You my sweet Molly
(Molly Molly)
Please don't cry
(Please don't cry)

Where's my son
What does he look like Molly
Everybody tells me
That he took after me
Golly I wish I could see
Come here little man
Don't be afraid I'm your daddy
I guess he'll get used to me
In time won't he Molly?

It's so nice to hear
Your voice again Molly
It's so nice to feel
Your arms around me Molly

Oh, how happy I'd be
If I only could see
You my sweet Molly
(Molly Molly)
Please don't cry
(Please don't cry)
