Little Molly dont go down to the river
youre safely tucked up in your bed
sweetheart stay away from the water
cause it longs for your pretty blonde head
Little Molly dont go down to the river
oh darling whatever you do
just stay away from the water
cause the tides have been calling for you
oh, some places a child shouldnt go
oh, some things a child shouldnt know
like the wiles of a handsome young stranger
or the ways of those closest to home
theres a darkness runs deep precious one
deeper than youll ever know
like the reeds that await the unwary
neath the stillest of waters below
listen youll hear a voice whisper,
Come, lay down beside me.
And itll never have peace my sweet daughter
till it carries your virtue to sea
oh, some things are better unsaid
oh, some stories just shouldnt be read
oh, some dreams are too real to forget
dear heart stay away from the water
let your sister take your place instead
Little Molly my prettiest daughter
let your sister go on now ahead
