Molly O’

[Verse 1]
That ship of fools set sail
Wasn't long till it ran aground
You can hear the cries for mercy
You can hear that wailing sound
She was the last one to die
Of the two thousand souls
And the sea took her gently
Delved in darkness and cold

[Chorus]
Molly O’
Like a ghost from the past
To her we raise a glass
Molly O'
On the highest of tides
May she rise to the sky

[Verse 2]
She was born in the east of Glanmire
Just another sleepy Irish town
With a suitcase full of redemption
And a ticket for a ship that went down
No distress signal was sent
Molly O' was twenty-two
When the surging walls of water
Turned it into a graveyard in blue

[Chorus]
Molly O’
Like a ghost from the past
To her we raise a glass
Molly O'
On the highest of tides
May she rise up to the sky

[Verse 3]
That ship of fools has sailed
Won't take long till it runs aground
You can hear those mamas weeping
From Halifax to London town
She danced on the sacred walls
And watched that black water rise
The ocean don't give up the dead
A bit of Molly still inside

[Chorus]
Molly O'
Like a ghost from the past
To her we raise a glass
Molly O'
To the lies and the truth
That fell out of you
Molly O'
You can't let it roll
You gotta rise up the fall
Molly O’
On the highest of tides
May she rise to the sky
