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
I went to church last Sunday
Molly came ridin' by
I could tell her mind was changin'
By the rovin' of her eye
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
