[g] . . . .

Oh, I wish I was in London,

Or some other seaport town;

I'd put my foot on a steamboat,

[g] . . .

I'd sail the ocean 'round.

While sailing 'round the ocean,

While sailing 'round the sea,

I'd think of handsome Molly

Wherever she might be.

Don't you remember, Molly,

You gave me your right hand?

You said if ever you'd marry

I'd be your man

But you broke your promise,

Go with whom you please,

My poor heart is aching

You are at your ease.

I went to church last Sunday,

Molly came ridin' by;

I could tell her mind was changing

By the rovin' of her eye.

I'll go down to the river,

When everyone's asleep.

I'll think of handsome Molly

An' I'll begin ta weep.

So I wish I was in London,

Or some other seaport town;

I'd put my foot on a steamboat,

I'd sail the ocean 'round.
