[Verse 1]
Wish I was in London
Some other seaport town
Step my foot on a steamboat
I'd sail the ocean 'round
Sail it 'round
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
While sailing 'round the ocean
Sailing 'round the sea
I'd dream of Handsome Molly
Wherever she might be
Where she might be
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
