Well, 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.

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 whenever you´d marry
I would be the 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 changin´
By the rovin´ of her eye.

I go down to the river
Though everyone´s asleep
I think of handsome Molly
An´ I begin to 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.
