[Verse]
In the shadow of a chestnut tree, I hide
Sword and a pistol by my side
Along come a traveler, lay him low
All for the love of my Molly-O

[Verse]
I left my family, left my home
Out in the wicked world to roam
No road so low I won't go
Down for the love of my Molly-O

[Chorus]
Oh Molly
Oh Molly
Oh Molly
All for the love of my Molly-O

[Verse]
I love Molly, God only knows
Molly love diamonds, pearls, and gold
Bangles, beads, and bells I bring
But Molly won’t wear no wedding ring

[Chorus]
Oh Molly
Oh Molly
Oh Molly
All for the love of my Molly-O
[Chorus]
Oh Molly
Oh Molly
Oh Molly
All for the love of my Molly-O

[Verse]
Men have died for lesser things
Vengeance, country, God, and King
Someday I’ll swing from the gallows pole
One final dance for my Molly-O

[Chorus]
Oh Molly
Oh Molly
Oh Molly
All for the love of my Molly-O

[Chorus]
Oh Molly
Oh Molly
Oh Molly
All for the love of my Molly-O
