His heart it fell for her darkened eyes
A night of fleeting passion changed a young mans life
His arms held tight, a dream come true
Sun shining on her skin as soft as morning dew
In his arms forever bound
The love of Molly Green from Dooley Downs.
Will you marry me? I will build a house
For all our dark eyed children and for you my wife
I've been saving so you'll soon see gold
But for now this ring of wire is all the love I hold
I'll work my body till my bones turn brown
Come away with me dear Molly from Dooley Downs.
She drew back her hand and she said I cannot
For I love another man from Inverlock
How handsome is he and he owns his own land
And he can give me more than any ringer can
He holds back his tears though his heart still pounds
For the love of Molly Green from Dooley Downs
The blade it sliced in the moonlit stream
And the dingo gullies howling with the bloody screams
He fell to his knees with blood stained hands
If I can't have my darling Molly. no one can
In his arms forever bound
The love of Molly Green from Dooley Downs
Just a ringer and a heart that pounds
For the love of Molly Green from Dooley Downs.
