When first I came to Ireland some pleasure for to find [00:00:40]
It's there I spied a damsel fair most pleasing to my mind [00:00:50]
Her rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes like arrows pierced my breast [00:00:59]
And they call her lovely Molly O the lily of the west [00:01:09]
One day as I was walking down by a shady grove [00:01:19]
I spied a lord of high degree conversing with my love [00:01:29]
She sang her song delightfully while I was sore oppressed [00:01:39]
Saying I bid adieu to Molly O the lily of the west [00:01:48]
Well I stepped up with my rapier and my dagger in my hand [00:02:09]
And I dragged him from my false love and boldly did bid him stand [00:02:19]
But being mad with desperation I swore I'd pierce his breast [00:02:29]
I was then deceived by Molly O the lily of the west [00:02:39]
I then did stand my trial and boldly I did plea [00:03:29]
A flaw was in my indictment found and that soon had me free [00:03:39]
That beauty bright I did adore the judge did her address [00:03:49]
Now go you faithless Molly O the lily of the west [00:03:58]
Now that I've gained my liberty a-roaming and I will go [00:04:09]
I'll ramble through old Ireland and travel Scotland over [00:04:18]
Though she thought to swear my life away she still disturbs my rest [00:04:28]
I still must style her Molly O the lily of the west [00:04:38]
