SWEET MOLLY
(A. Young)


David Houston & Calvin Crawford - 1975


High on a mountain lived two country boys
Down in the valley lived their only joy
Late in the evenin' at the dawn of the Moon
We tried to win her heart with this old mountain tune

I'll sing you our love song, I'll yodel with glee
We'll meet and we'll kiss 'neath the evergreen tree
Oh, Molly, I love you, you are my love, we'll never be blue
I yodel, sweet Molly, and we'll sing our love song to you

One day sweet Molly she went far away
Our guitars were quiet from the strummin' that day
But memories of good times, we still live alone
The lonely green valley still echoes our song

I'll sing you our love song, I'll yodel with glee
We'll meet and we'll kiss 'neath the evergreen tree
Oh, Molly, I love you, you are my love, we'll never be blue
I yodel, sweet Molly, and we'll sing our love song to you

(Yodelling to end)
