Bluehorses - Moly Bond lyrics

Come all you young gallants, who handle a gun Beware of your shooting, between moonlight and sun It happened one evening, in a large shower of rain When under a bower my face was concealed My apron flew around me, he took me as a swan And she shot her own sweetheart between moonlight and sunlight As she walked up singing and found it was me Those limbs they grew weary and his eyes couldn't see The ring on my finger, most bitterly he cried O Molly, If you were living I'd have made you my bride With the gun in his hand to his father he did run Saying father, dearest father, do you know what I've done? Her apron gathered around her, I took her as a swan And I shot my own sweetheart between moonlight and sun Her apron gathered round her, I took her as a swan And I shot my own darling and where shall I run? Up stood his father with his hair turning grey Randall, Jimmy Randall, don't you run away Stay in this country until your trial comes on You never shall be hung by the courts of this land On day of the trial to the judge I appeared Randall. Jimmy Randall, you must let him go free My apron gathered round me, he took me as a swan And I know his heart lies bleeding for his own Molly Bond
