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 go down to the river

Though everyone's asleep

I think of handsome molly

An' I begin to weep

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
