Little Molly Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

 Little MAolly don’t go down toD the rivAer

 you’re saAfely tucked Eup in your bAed

 sweetheAart stay away from the DwatBmer

 ‘cause it loAngs for your pEretty blonde hAead

Little Molly don’t go down to the river

oh darling whatever you do

just stay away from the water

‘cause the tides have been calling for you

Chorus

Doh, some pAlaces a child shouldn’t go

Doh, some Athings a child shouldn’t kEnow

Alike the wiles of a handsome young sDtraAnger

 or the waAys of those Eclosest to hAome

Verse

there’s a darkness runs deep precious one

deeper than you’ll ever know

like the reeds that await the unwary

‘neath the stillest of waters below

Chorus

Verse

listen you’ll hear a voice whisper,

“Come, lay down beside me.”

And it’ll never have peace my sweet daughter

‘till it carries your virtue to sea

Doh, some tAhings are better unsaid

Doh, some Astories just shouldn’t be read

Doh, some Adreams are too real to fEorget

Verse

dear heart stay away from the water

let your sister take your place instead

Little Molly my prettiest daughter

let your sister go on now ahead
