[Verse 1]
Wished I was in London
Some other seaport town
Get in a sailboat and steamship
And I'd sail the ocean 'round

[Verse 2]
While sailin' on the ocean
While sailin' on the sea
Think of handsome Molly
Wherever she may be

[Verse 3]
Don't you remember, Molly?
You gave me your right hand
Said if ever you marry
That I would be the man

[Verse 4]
I'll go down to the river
While ev'ryone's asleep
Think of handsome Molly
And then lay down and weep

[Verse 5]
Wished I was in London
Some other seaport town
Get in a sailboat and steamship
And I'd sail the ocean 'round
