Miss Molly O´Connolly
by Klanggebiet(er)
(1.)
Once there was a girl – she was living in my town
With her amber eyes and her long hair coloured brown
Her smile of invitation, as she was strolling down the street,
Made all men´s eyes turn to her and body parts concrete
(2.)
Her boyfriend was a sailor, for month he was away
And every man was wondering: “Will this day be my day?”
Oh betraying was a foreign word – but one thing she did do
Together we got sh** faced every night anew
(chorus)
O Miss Molly O´Connolly would you play a tune for us
For you´re the queen of music in our small and grimy pub
Let´s buy a round of whisky and another round of beer
Just keep on playing your squeeze box, bonnie Molly o my dear
(3.)
Some day I found her crying, sitting on her knees
Longing for her boyfriend who was sailing the seas
Her hair became so lifeless and her eyes became so dead
So I put my arm around her and with moving words I said:
(4.)
Your boyfriend will return some day and you´ll get married then
He will be the luckiest man and we left with our yen
But until this day will come there´s one thing we could do
Let´s celebrate a booze-up every night anew
(chorus)
O Miss Molly O´Connolly would you play a tune for us
For you´re the queen of music in our small and grimy pub
Let´s buy a round of whisky and another round of beer
Just keep on playing your squeeze box, bonnie Molly o my dear
