'Tis I am sad and lonely down in the distant
G
west
C G
The happy dreams of boyhood years at night
D
disturb my rest
C
For it's in this weary heart of mine to
G D
forget it ne'er shall be,
G C G
Of the days I spent with Molly Bawn a-boating
D G
on Loch Ri.
C G D
She was young and beautiful,as gentle as the
G
fawn
C D G
Her eyes they shone like diamonds bright,like
stars at early dawn
C G
A smile she had for every lad but her love
C
was all for me,
G C G
When first I gazed on Molly Bawn a-boating
D G
on Loch Ri.
G C G
And when she said she'd be my bride, how
D G
happy then was I,
C
The pleasant dreams of boyhood years, how
G D
swiftly they've flown by
C D
The heaven light shone in her eyes, she was
G
too good for me,
G C G
An angel claimed her for his own and took her
D G
from Loch Ri.
C G
Oh, I have lived the stormy life, my hair is
D G
a silvery hue
C G
A plaintive voice rings in my ear in tones I
D
can't sub- due,
C G
A lovely form still lingers there and a face
D
I think I see
G C G
Oh,that's the face of Molly Bawn a-boating
D G
on Loch Ri.
