Interlude 1

Verse 2

She was going to her uncle's

When a shower came on

She went under a green bush

The shower to shun

Verse 3

Her white apron wrapped around her

He took her for a swan

But a hush and sigh

Was his own Molly Ban

Interlude 2

Verse 4

He quickly ran to her

And found she was dead

And there on her bosom

Where he soaked, tears he shed

Verse 5

He ran home to his father

With his gun in his hand

Saying, 'father, dear father

I have shot Molly Ban"

Verse 7
G 
A 
He roamed near the place
G 
A 
Where his true love was slain
G 
A 
He wept bitter tears
G

But his cries were in vain
G 
As he looked on the lake
A swan glided by
And the sun slowly sank
A 
In the grayed up sky
