Molly Bán Letra

Come all ye young fellows that handle a gun Beware of night ramblin' by the setting of the sun. And be aware of an accident that happened of late To young Molly Bán and sad was her fate. She was going to her uncle's when a shower came on She went under a green bush the shower to shun. Her white apron wrapped 'round her he took her for a swan But a hush and a sigh it was his only Molly Bán. He quickly ran to her and saw that she was dead And there on her bosom many salt tears he shed He ran home to his father with his gun in his hand Saying father, dear father, I have shot Molly Bán. Her white apron wrapped 'round her he took her for a swan But a hush and a sigh it was his only Molly Bán. He roamed near the place where his true love was slain He wept bitter tears, but his tears were all in vain As he looked on the lake, a swan glided by And the sun slowly sank in the grey of the sky
