ALISON KRAUSS lyrics : "Molly Bán (Bawn)"

Come all ye young fellas
That handle a gun
Beware of night rambling

By the setting of the sun
And beware of an accident
That happened of late

To young Molly Ban
And sad was her fate


She was going to her uncles
When a shower came on
She went under a green bush

The shower to shun

Her white apron wrapped around her

He took her for a swan
But a hush and sigh
Was his own Molly Ban


He quickly ran to her
And found she was dead

And there on her bosom
Where he soaked, tears he shed


He ran home to his father
With his gun in his hand
Saying "Father dear father

I have shot Molly Ban"

Her white apron wrapped around her

He took her for a swan
But a hush and a sigh
'Twas his own Molly Ban


He roamed near the place
Where his true love was slain

He wept bitter tears
But his cries were in vain
As he look on the lake

A swan glided by
And the sun slowly sank
In the gray up sky
