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