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
It's so nice to feel your arms around me Molly
Oh how happy I'd be if I only could see you my sweet Molly (Molly Molly)
Please don't cry (please don't cry)

Maybe I should have written to let you ahead of time
But I was afraid that you'd worry Molly if you knew that I'd gone blind
Do I hear you crying Molly oh please don't cry you silly thing
See what you've done you've even brought a tear into my eyes
Oh how happy I'd be...

Where's my son what does he look like Molly
Everybody tells me that he took after me golly I wish I could see
Come here little man don't be afraid I'm your daddy
I guess he'll get used to me in time won't he Molly
It's so nice to hear your voice...
