G C G D 'Tis I am sad and lonely down in the distant G west C G The happy dreams of boyhood years at night D disturb my rest; C For it's in this weary heart of mine to G D forget it ne'er shall be, G C G Of the days I spent with Molly Bawn a-boating D G on Loch Ri. C G D She was young and beautiful,as gentle as the G fawn C D G Her eyes they shone like diamonds bright,like stars at early dawn; C G A smile she had for every lad but her love C was all for me, G C G When first I gazed on Molly Bawn a-boating D G on Loch Ri. G C G And when she said she'd be my bride, how D G happy then was I, C The pleasant dreams of boyhood years, how G D swiftly they've flown by; C D The heaven light shone in her eyes, she was G too good for me, G C G An angel claimed her for his own and took her D G from Loch Ri. C G Oh, I have lived the stormy life, my hair is D G a silvery hue C G A plaintive voice rings in my ear in tones I D can't sub- due, C G A lovely form still lingers there and a face D I think I see; G C G Oh,that's the face of Molly Bawn a-boating D G on Loch Ri.
