Well, I wish I was in london,Or some other seaport townI'd put my foot on a steamboatI'd sail the ocean 'round.While sailing 'round the ocean,While sailing 'round the seaI'd think of handsome mollyWherever she might be.Don't you remember, mollyYou gave me your right hand? You said whenever you'd marryI would be the man.But you broke your promiseGo with whom you pleaseMy poor heart is achingYou are at your ease.I went to church last sundayMolly came ridin' byI could tell her mind was changin'By the rovin' of her eye.I go down to the riverLetras de cancionesThough everyone's asleepI think of handsome mollyAn' I begin to weep.So I wish I was in london,Or some other seaport townI'd put my foot on a steamboatI'd sail the ocean 'round.
