_ When [F] first [C] I came [G] to _ [C] Ireland, _ some pleasure _ _ fortified.
_ _ [F] _
_ [C] It's there I spied [Am] a damsel [Em]
fair, [C] most pleasing to [F] my mind. _
Her _ [C] _ [G] rosy cheeks [Am] and sparkling [Em] eyes [C] like arrows _ pierced my [F] breast,
[C] _ _
and they called her lovely [G] Molly [C] on _ [Am] the lily [G] _
of [Fm] the west.
_ [C] _
One _ day as I [G] was _ walking [C] _
[Am] down by [C] the shady grove,
_ [F] _ _
[C] I spied [B] a lord [Am] of high [Em] degree _ [C] _ _ conversing with [F] my love. _
She [C] sang [G] a song _ [Am] _ _ [Em] delightfully _
[C] while I [G] was [F] sore at rest, _
saying [C] I bid adieu _
[G] to Molly [C] on [G] [Am] the _ [C] lily of [F] the west.

Well I stepped [F] up [C] _
with [G] my [C] rapier _ [Am] and my dagger [C] _
in my hand,
_ [F] _ _
[C] and I dragged [G] him from [Am] my false [G] love [C] and _ boldly did bid [F] him stand. _ _
[C] But being [G] mad with [Am] desperation, _ [Em] _
I [C] swore I'd pierce [F] his breast. _
I [C] was then _ deceived _ [G] by Molly [C] on [Am] the lily [Gm] _
of [C] _ _ the west. _

_ _ _ _ _ _
I then did stand [G] my _ [C] trial, _ and [F] boldly I [C] did plead.
_ [F] _
[C] A flaw [G] was in my [Am] _ indictment [Em] found, [C] and that soon had [F] me freed. _ _
[C] That beauty [G] bright I [Am] _ did [Em] adore, [C] the judge did her [F] _ address. _
Now [C] go ye, _ [G] faithless _ Molly, [C] on [Am] the [C] lily _ of the west.
_ Now _ that I've gained [G] my _ [C] liberty _
_ [Am] _ aroven,
[C] _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[C] I'll ramble [G] through [C] old [Am] _ [Em] Ireland _ and [C] travel _ _ Scotland [F] [G] o _ [F]'er.
[C] Though she fought _ [G] to swear [Am] my life [Em] away, [C] she still _ disturbs [F] my rest. _ _
[C] I still must snile [G] her, Molly [C] on [D] [Am] the _ [C] lily of the west. _ _
