Song information
Artist: Bob Dylan Album: Bob Dylan Live 1961-2000
Lyrics
(First release, live version "second gaslight tape", late 1962—traditional, arranged by bob dylan)
Well, I wish I was in london Or some other seaport town I'd put my foot on a steamboat I'd sail the ocean 'round
While sailing 'round the ocean While sailing 'round the sea I'd think of handsome molly Wherever she might be
Don't you remember, molly You gave me your right hand? You said whenever you'd marry I would be the man
But you broke your promise Go with whom you please My poor heart is aching You are at your ease
I went to church last sunday Molly came ridin' by I could tell her mind was changin' By the rovin' of her eye
I go down to the river Though everyone's asleep I think of handsome molly An' I begin to weep
So I wish I was in london Or some other seaport town I'd put my foot on a steamboat I'd sail the ocean 'round
