Molly Lyrics

When I was a young man

I ran away from home

I went to join the circus

I went to see the cotton candy world

And make me lots of money

On my own

For Molly oh my pretty Molly

She's waitin' all alone

Someday soon I will return to her



Then I made the big time

Bright lights show biz

I'm really in the circus

There's only one thing wrong

I haven't saved a penny on my own

For Molly ah my pretty Molly

But she's writing every day

Molly understands so it's okay



Ride a windy boxcar

And see a thousand children young and old.

Oh that greasepaint smile can hide you so

Here comes the carousel

Guess wich town it is

Feel the thrill

Greasepaint covers everything

But winter's chill



I'm reading Molly's letter

The ink is fading and

The page is turning yellow

Long ago

I promised Molly

Don't you know I

I will close my eyes

And go to her
