about

A Dublin song.

lyrics

Molly was starstruck when she saw me
In fact she couldn't even speak
I said "Lay down your head on that Strawberry Bed
and I'll tell you a tale you can keep"

Molly,you don't really know me
I just like to tell stories and when..
When I roll out the dice and someone thinks they're nice
I might get to do it again

When you go love, it's best to go gently
All that pomp and procedure is vain
Make your mark in the sand down on Dollymount Strand
And they'll always remember your name.

All the best tales are over too quickly
So relax sir and sit for a while
Hear my tales of confession 'bout my lowly profession
Then see if I can't make you smile

"Molly dear, bloom where you're planted
Make the most of the little you've got"
Said my Mother to me and that's why sir, you see
Mary Maudlin I'm certainly not..

They say wisdom's how best you use knowledge
Well the Lord God above knows I've tried..
But to grow old and wise and then peacefully die
Is a privilege that some are denied.
