Charming Molly

---

Charming Molly, fair, brisk and gay like nightingales in May
All round her eyelids young Cupids play,
She has eyes so bright they shine
Black as any berry, cheeks like any cherry.
Charming Molly with sparkling eyes.

See how the swain do admire and desire a pretty little girl,
To hold her hand it burns like sparkling fire,
In her face these things are seen,
Violets, roses, lilies and daffadown-dillies.
Charming Molly she is all divine.

Surely there's no one loves a pretty woman if she be not common
Surely such beauty most men admire,
Surely there's no one can them despise
Because they are so pretty and they talk so witty,
Charming Molly with sparkling eyes.
