In the shadow of a chestnut tree I hide. Sword and a pistol by my side. Long come a traveler - lay him low. All for the love of my molly-o. I left my family left my home. Out in the wicked world to roam. No road so low I won't go down. For the love of my molly-o. Oh molly. Oh molly. Oh molly. All for the love of my molly-o. I love molly God only knows. Molly love diamonds pearls and gold. Bangles beads and bells I bring. But molly won't wear no wedding ring. Men have died for lesser things. Vengeance country God and king. Someday I'll swing from the gallows pole. A final dance for my molly-o
