PADDY'S LAMENTATION
Sweet Molly O'Bog! Oh! my shoul's dearest treasure,
Now you're gone, my dear joy, I shall never know pleasure.
Your loss, my dear Molly, long, long shall I cry for;
Then, arrah! my Jewel, ah! what did ye die for?
Now you're gone, my dear joy, I shall never know pleasure.
Your loss, my dear Molly, long, long shall I cry for;
Then, arrah! my Jewel, ah! what did ye die for?
Oh! my beautiful Molly, so wild and so frisky!
You had plenty of beef, and potatoes and whiskey!
You had all you could wish and nothing to cry for;
Then, arrah! my Jewel, ah! what did you die for?
You had plenty of beef, and potatoes and whiskey!
You had all you could wish and nothing to cry for;
Then, arrah! my Jewel, ah! what did you die for?

Ah! why did you die now and leave me behind here?
Your equal, sweet Molly, I never shall find here!
Such another dear creature in vain should I try for:
Then, arrah! my Jewel, ah! what did you die for?
Your equal, sweet Molly, I never shall find here!
Such another dear creature in vain should I try for:
