Bb                C            Bb      C

[Verse 1]
Bb                C            Bb      C
Come all ye young fellas That handle a gun
Bb                C            Bb             C
Beware of night rambling By the setting of the sun
Bb                C            Bb      C
And beware of an accident That happened of late
Bb                C            Bb      C
To young Molly Bán And sad was her fate

[Verse 2]
Bb                     C            Bb      C
She was going to her uncles When a shower came on
Bb                C               Bb       C
She went under a green bush The shower to shun
Bb                        C                Bb          C
Her white apron wrapped around her He took her for a swan
Bb                C            Bb        C
But a hush and a sigh 'Twas his own Molly Bán

[Verse 3]
Bb                C        Bb            C
He quickly ran to her And found she was dead
Bb                C            Bb          C
And there on her bosom Many salt-tears he shed
Bb                C                 Bb         C
He ran home to his father With his gun in his hand
       Bb                C            Bb      C
Saying "Father dear father I have shot Molly Bán"

[Chorus]
Bb                        C            Bb             C
Her white apron wrapped around her He took her for a swan
Bb                C            Bb         C
But a hush and a sigh'Twas his own Molly Bán

[Solo]
Bb                C            Bb         C
Bb                C            Bb         C

[Verse 4]
Bb                   C               Bb           C
He roamed near the place Where his true love was slain
  Bb             C            Bb            C
He wept bitter tears But his cries were in vain
      Bb             C      Bb         C
As he looked on the lake A swan glided by
        Bb           C          Bb          C
And the sun slowly sank In the gray of the sky
