My Love Passed Me By

When going to Mass last Sunday, my true love passed me by;
I knew her love were altered by the roll she gave her eye
Yes, I knew her mind was altered to some lad of high degree --
O charming, lovely Molly, your looks have wounded me

Whenever you meet a pretty girl with that dark and roguish eye
Just kiss her and embrace her, and tell her the reason why
Yes, kiss her and embrace her and steal her heart away --
For a cowardly-hearted soldier, he never gained the day

It's down in yonder valley I'll meet my love bye and bye;
And it's down in yonder valley I'll gaze into her eye
And it's down in yonder valley I'll meet my love tonight --
Sure I'll hold her in my arms, to the course of my heart's delight
