Another great lyric from Len. I literally sang the melody the the very first time I saw the lyric.
Lyrics
Molly had a pretty face
A head of golden curls
Molly wore a wedding dress
Trimmed with lace and pearls
I wed her at the altar
In the winter time
And now she lays beneath the ground
And no-one saw the crime
Chorus
Molly said our love would live forever
Molly said she would never leave
But now she lies cold below the snow
And it's Molly and me and the Devil who knows
Verse
As she walked beside me
In the snow and ice
I gently held her golden curls
And took her precious life
I laid her in a hole
Among the worms and turf
And Molly spent her wedding night
Sleeping in the earth
Chorus
Molly said our love would live forever
Molly said she would never leave
But now she lies cold below the snow
And it's Molly and me and the Devil who knows
Bridge
The final words she said as I cracked her pretty head
"By the Devil I've a right to have my wedding night"
Verse
Now I see the outlines
Of footprints in the snow
And I hear a wedding dress
Scrape the stairs below
And I hear a voice say
"I'm back for what you owe"
And now we lay below the earth
Where no-one else will know
Chorus
Molly said our love would live forever
Molly said she would never leave
And now we lie cold below the snow
And it's Molly and me and the Devil who knows
