[Verse]
   Em            G
Oh courting is a pleasure
  Bm       G        D
between my love and I
       Em                G
It was down in yon green valley
     Bm       G      Em
I'll meet her by and by
 
[Chorus]
       D                 Em
It was down in yon green valley
    Bm    G       Em
She is my heart's delight
   D             Em
Oh Molly, lovely Molly
       Bm        G       Em
Please stay with me till light
 
[Verse]
        Em          G
Gone to church last Sunday
   Bm        G         D
My true love passed me by
  Em                G
I knew her mind had altered
       Bm     G      Em
By the roving of her eye
 
[Chorus]
  D                 Em
I knew her mind had altered
   Bm       G    Em
To light of high degree
   D             Em
Oh Molly, lovely Molly
     Bm         G       Em
Your looks have wounded me

[Verse]
     Em            G
Then came her love Willy
       Bm     G      D
With a bottle in his hand
        Em                G
Saying, drink this lovely Molly
        Bm       G     Em
For our love can never stand
 
[Chorus]
       D                 Em
Saying drink this lovely Molly
        Bm     G       Em
For the bottle must go free
    D              Em
Ten guineas I will wager
     Bm            G           Em
That married we'll ne'er shall be
 
 
[Verse]
   Em            G
So never marry a false young girl
       Bm       G      D
With a dark and roving eye
         Em            G
Just you kiss her you embrace her
      Bm           G      Em
Never tell her the reason why
 
[Chorus]
         D            Em
Just you kiss her you embrace her
         Bm        G        Em
Till you cause her heart to yield
      D             Em
For a false hearted soldier
     Bm    G        Em
Will never gain the field
