Lyrics Lovely Molly - Sam Lee
I
once
was
a
ploughboy,
but
a
soldier
I'm
now,
I
courted
wee
lovely
Molly,
as
I
followed
the
plough;
I
courted
wee
lovely
Molly,
at
the
age
of
sixteen,
But
now
I
must
leave
her,
for
to
serve
James,
my
king.
(After
each
verse):
Oh
Molly,
lovely
Molly,
I
delight
in
your
charms,
And
there's
many's
the
night
I
have
lay
in
your
arms.
But
if
ever
I
return
again,
it
will
be
in
the
Spring
Where
the
mavis
and
the
turtle
dove
and
the
nightingale
sing.
You
can
go
to
the
market,
you
can
go
to
the
fair;
You
can
go
to
the
church
on
Sunday,
and
meet
your
love
there.
But
if
anybody
loved
you
as
much
as
I
do,
Then
I
won't
stop
your
marriage,
so
I
once
was
a
ploughboy
but
a
soldier
I'm
now.
I
courted
wee
lovely
Molly
as
I
followed
the
plough.
I
courted
wee
lovely
Molly
at
the
age
of
sixteen,
But
now
I
must
leave
her
and
serve
James,
my
king.
(After
each
verse):
Oh
Molly,
lovely
Molly,
despite
all
your
charms,
There
is
many's
a
night
you
have
lay
in
my
arms.
But
if
ever
I'll
return
again
it'll
be
in
the
Spring
Where
the
mavis
and
the
turtle
dove
and
the
nightingale
sing.
You
may
go
to
the
market,
you
may
go
to
the
fair;
You
may
go
to
the
church
on
Sundays
and
meet
your
new
love
there.
But
if
anybody
loves
you
half
as
much
as
I
do,
Then
I
won't
stop
your
marriage;
farewell,
love,
adieu.

second
verse)
