The war began
And Henry left his farm
Left his darling Molly
With a baby in her arms

Now the war was over
And their life could begin
Molly saw her darling
Standing at the door again

It's so nice to hear
Your voice again, Molly
So nice, to feel your
Arms around me, Molly

Oh, how happy I'd be
If I only could see you
Sweet, sweet Molly
(Molly, Molly)
Please don't cry
(Please don't cry)

Maybe I should have written
To let you know ahead of time
But I was afraid you'd worry
If you knew that I'd gone blind

Do I hear you crying, Molly
Please don't cry, you silly thing
See what you've done
You've even brought
A tear to my eye

Oh how happy I'd be
If I only could see you
Sweet, sweet Molly
(Molly, Molly)
Please don't cry
(Please don't cry)

Where's my son
What does he look like, Molly
Everyone says he took after me
Lord, I wish I could see

Come here, little man
Don't be afraid, I'm your daddy
Guess he'll get used to me in time
Won't he, Molly

It's so nice to hear
Your voice again, Molly
So nice, to feel your
Arms around me, Molly

Oh, how happy I'd be
If I only could see you
Sweet, sweet Molly
(Molly, Molly)
Please don't cry
(Molly, Molly)

Please don't cry
(Molly, Molly)
Please don't cry
(Molly, Molly)
