Lyrics
- Molly dear and did you hear
The news that’s going ’round?
Down in the corner of my heart
A loving place you’ve found.
And every time I gaze into
Your eyes of Irish blue.
They seem to whisper darling boy
“My love is all for you”
Chorus
Molly, my Irish Molly
My sweet acushla dear
I’m fairly off my trolley
My Irish Molly when you are near.
Springtime you know is ring time
Come dear, don’t be so slow
Change your name, g’wan, be game
Begorra and I’ll do the same
My Irish Molly O!
- Molly dear now did you hear
I furnished up a flat
Three little cosy rooms and bath
With ‘welcome’ on the mat.
Ten dollars down and two a week
I’ll soon be out of debt
It’s all complete except
They haven’t brought the cradle yet
