1 Charming Molly, I do love thee, There's none other I adore; Pierced by your beauteous eyes, My heart transfixed lies, Say, dearest Molly, you'll be mine for evermore. 2 Constant Johnny, I reject thee, I thy fruitless suit deplore, Your love I do decline, I will be no love of thine No, Johnny, Constant Johnny, ne'er I'll see thee more. 3 Canst thou see young Johnny bleeding Down in Cupid's rosy bower, See his transfixed heart, Full of grief and full of smart, Say, dearest Molly, thou'lt be mine for evermore. 4 Now the lovers are united, Fast in wedlock's chains secure, Happy as the livelong day, Often she to him doth say, O! Johnny, dearest Johnny, now we part no more.
