ฟังเพลงO Molly Dear

O Molly Dear - B.F. Shelton

Oh once I lived in old Virginia

To north Carolina I did go

There I saw a nice young lady

Oh her name I did not know

Her hair was black and her eyes was sparkling

On her cheeks were diamonds red

And on her breast she wore a lily

To mourn the tears that I have shed

Oh when I'm asleep I dream about her

When I'm awake I see no rest

Every moment seems like an hour

Oh the pains that cross my breast

Oh molly dear go ask your mother

If you my bride can ever be

If she says no come back and tell me

And never more will I trouble thee

Last night as I laid on my pillow

Last night as I laid on my bed

Last night as I laid on my pillow

I dreamed that fair young lady was dead

No I won't go ask my mother

She's lying on her bed of rest

And in one hand she holds a dagger

To kill the man that I love best

Now go and leave me if you want to

Then from me you will be free

For in your heart you love another

And in my grave I'd rather be
