Won't you tell me Molly darlin'
That you love none else but me
For I love you Molly darlin'
You are all the world to me

Oh, tell me darlin' that you love me
Put your little hand in mine
Take my heart sweet Molly darlin'
Say that you will give me thine

(Instrumental Break)

Stars are smilin' Molly darlin'
Through the mystic veil of night
They seem laughing Molly darlin'
While fair luna hides her light

Oh, no one listens but the flowers
While they hang their heads in shame
They are modest Molly darlin'
When they hear me call your name

Molly, fairest, sweetest, dearest
Look up darlin', tell me this
Do you love me Molly darlin'
Let your answer be a kiss
