[D] [A]
[E] [A]
The little boats are gone,
[D] From the press, the parlour, the field,
The ferryman looks stranded [E] on the quay.
[A] Sugar from the box is dying,
[D] And the way of life [A] is gone,
[E] And Molly never spoke of me [A] there.
Here we go, listen up.
[E] Where's the strawberry mess?
[D] Sweet time [A] to the living,
[D] And a kiss from away,
And a worry from [E] my brow.
[A] I love you well today,
I'll love you more tomorrow,
[E] If you never loved me Molly, love [A] me now.
What's your age, am I in?
It [D] was I, but [A] I'm old, late.
[D] Nifty fair in way, the man [E] ought to be.
Now [A] it's gone, but I'll whisper,
[D] I've got you, leave him [A] now.
Sure [E] it's over, Molly, over, can't you [A] see?
Come on, let's hear ya.
[E] Where's the strawberry mess?
Sweet time to the living,

[D] I'll love you more [A] tomorrow,
[E] If you never loved me Molly, love [A] me now.
By the way, I'm a buzz.
Well, [D] [A]
[E] [A]
[D] [A]
[E] [A]
now I've turned the odds,
[D] I've spent decades [A] a [D]-talking,
In whisper charities [F#] on the door.
[A] But Molly, we're still living,
[D] I doubt we're [A] still young,
[E] I'm a-living, if at all, in the eyes [A] of some.
Where's my choir?
[E] Where's it gone, baby?
[D] Sweet time to [A] the living,
[D] And a kiss from away,
And a worry from [E] my brow.
I love you well today,
[D] I'll love you [A] more tomorrow,
[E] If you never loved me Molly, love [A] me now.
Where's the [E] strawberry mess?
[D] Sweet time [A] to the living,
[D] And a kiss from away,
And a worry [E] from my brow.

If [E] you never loved me Molly, [A] love me now.
[E] If you never loved me Molly, love me now.
