The Lily of the West - The Chieftains

When first I came to Ireland

Some pleasure for to find

It's there I spied a damsel fair

Most pleasing to my mind

Her rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes

Like arrows pierced my breast

And they call her lovely Molly O'

The lily of the west

One day as I was walking down

By a shady grove

I spied a lord of high degree

Conversing with my love

She sang her song delightfully

While I was sore oppressed

Saying I bid adieu to Molly O'

The lily of the west

Well I stepped up with my rapier

And my dagger in my hand

And I dragged him from my false love

And boldly did bid him stand

But being mad with desperation

I swore I'd pierce his breast

I was then deceived by Molly O'

The lily of the west

I then did stand my trial and boldly

I did plea

A flaw was in my indictment found

And that soon had me free

That beauty bright I did adore

The judge did her address

Now go you faithless Molly O'

The lily of the west

Now that I've gained my liberty a-roaming

I will go

I'll ramble through old Ireland

And travel Scotland o'er

Though she thought to swear my life away

She still disturbs my rest

I still must style her Molly O'

The lily of the west
