"Now Molly, lovely Molly, come gi'e tae me the time
When you and I are married, love, in wedlock we're combined
When you and I are married, love, and to all you will agree
Molly you are the bonnie lass tae tak the road wi' me"
"Tae tak the road wi' you, kind sir, cold Winter's coming on
Likewise my aged parents, they have nee girls but een
Likewise my aged parents, they have nee one but me
And so I am no the bonnie lass tae tak the road wi' thee
Well, never mind cold Winter, love, spring is coming soon
Come sit here doon beside me and I'll play tae you a tune
I'll play tae you a bonnie sang of the Danbury one by me
Molly you are the bonnie lass tae tak the road wi' me"
She has a basket of bows on her shin, tae the kirk I have gane
And lang yer, lang the mornin', this couple were within
And lang yer, lang the mornin', her troubles were fer free
"For you are the bonnie lass tae tak the road wi' me"
