Come all you young fellas That handle a gun Beware of night rambling By the setting of the sun And beware of an accident That happened of late To one Molly Bawn And sad was her fate She was going to her uncle's When a shower came on She went under a green bush The shower to shun Her white apron around her He took her for a swan And he shot her and killed her By the setting of the sun He went home to his father's With his gun in his hand Crying "Father dear father I have shot Molly Bawn. "I have shot that fair damsel I have taken the life Of the one I intended To take as my wife. "She was going to her uncle's When a shower came on She went under a green bush Yeah, the shower to shun. "With her white apron around her I took her for a swan And I shot her and killed her By the setting of the sun." Well Jimmy dear Jimmy Do not run away Do not leave your own country Before your trial day. Do not leave your own country Till your trial comes on For they never will hang you For the killing of a swan. The night before Molly's funeral Her ghost did appear Crying "Uncle dear uncle Let Jimmy go clear. "I was going to my uncle's When a shower came on I went under a green bush The shower to shun. "With my white apron around me He took me for a swan Won't you tell him he's forgiven By his old Molly Bawn." All the girls of this country They are all glad we know To see Molly Bawn Brought down so low Take all those fair damsels Put them all in one row Our beauty will outshine them Like a mountain of snow. |
