Molly

Biff Rose

[Verse 1]
When I was a young man
I ran away from home
I went to join the circus
I went to see the cotton candy whirl
Then make me lots of money on my own
For Molly, oh, my pretty Molly
She's waiting all alone
Someday soon I will return to her

[Verse 2]
Then I made the big time
Bright lights, show biz
I'm really in the circus
There's only one thing wrong
I haven't saved a penny on my own
For Molly, oh, my pretty Molly
She's writing every day
Molly understands so it's okay

[Bridge]
Ride a windy boxcar, see a thousand children young and old
Ah, that greasepaint smile can hide your soul
Here comes a carousel, guess which town it is
Feel the thrill
Greasepaint covers everything
But winter's chill

[Verse 3]
I'm reading Molly's letter
The ink is fading
And the page is turning yellow
Long ago I promised Molly
Don't you know I—
I will close my eyes and go to her
