| One starry night as I lay sleepin'
|
| One starry night as I lay in bed
|
| Dreamed I heard wagon wheels a’creakin'
|
| When I awoke, love, found you had fled
|
| I’ll search the highways likewise the byways
|
| I’ll search the boreens, the camping places too
|
| I will inquire of all our people
|
| Have they tide or tidings or sight of you
|
| For it’s many’s the mile, love, with you I’ve traveled
|
| Many’s the hour, love, with you I’ve spent
|
| Dreamed you were my love forever
|
| But now I find, love, you were only lent
|
| I’m drunk today, I’m seldom sober
|
| A handsome rover from town to town
|
| When I am dead, my story ended
|
| Molly Bn a stoirn, come lay me down
|
| One starry night as I lay sleepin'
|
| One starry night as I lay in bed
|
| Dreamed I heard wagon wheels a’creakin'
|
| Now that you’re gone, love, I might as well be dead |
