The war began
And Henry left his farm
Left his darling Molly

With a baby in her arms

Now the war was over

And their life could begin
Molly saw her darling
Standing at the door again


It's so nice to hear
Your voice again, Molly

So nice, to feel your
Arms around me, Molly


Oh, how happy I'd be
If I only could see you
Sweet, sweet Molly

(Molly, Molly)
Please don't cry
(Please don't cry)


Maybe I should have written
To let you know ahead of time

But I was afraid you'd worry
If you knew that I'd gone blind


Do I hear you crying, Molly
Please don't cry, you silly thing
See what you've done

You've even brought
A tear to my eye


Oh how happy I'd be
If I only could see you
Sweet, sweet Molly

(Molly, Molly)
Please don't cry
(Please don't cry)


Where's my son
What does he look like, Molly

Everyone says he took after me
Lord, I wish I could see


Come here, little man
Don't be afraid, I'm your daddy
Guess he'll get used to me in time

Won't he, Molly

It's so nice to hear

Your voice again, Molly
So nice, to feel your
Arms around me, Molly


Oh, how happy I'd be
If I only could see you

Sweet, sweet Molly
(Molly, Molly)
Please don't cry

(Molly, Molly)

Please don't cry

(Molly, Molly)
Please don't cry
(Molly, Molly)...
