MOLLY
(Steve Karliski)

Bill Anderson - 1963



 
The war began and Henry left his farm
Left his darling Molly with a baby in her arms
Now the war was over and their life could begin
Molly saw her darling standing at the door again

It's so nice to hear your voice again Molly
It's so nice to feel your arms around me Molly
Oh, how happy I'd be if I only could see you
My sweet Molly (Molly, Molly) 
Please don't cry (Please don't cry)

SPOKEN:
Maybe I should have written to let you know ahead of time
But I was afraid that you'd worry, Molly, if you knew that I'd gone blind
Do I hear you crying, Molly, aw, please don't cry you silly thing
See what you've done, you've even brought a tear into my eyes

Oh, how happy I'd be if I only could see you
My sweet Molly (Molly, Molly) 
Please don't cry (Please don't cry)

SPOKEN:
Where's my son, what does he look like Molly?
Ev'rybody tells me that he took after me
Golly, I wish I could see
Come here little man, don't be afraid, I'm your daddy
I guess he'll get used to me in time won't he, Molly?

It's so nice to hear your voice again, Molly
It's so nice to feel your arms around me, Molly
Oh, how happy I'd be if I only could see you
My sweet Molly (Molly, Molly) 
Please don't cry (Molly, Molly)
Please don't cry (Molly, Molly)
Please don't cry (Molly, Molly)
Please don't cry ........ FADE
