ROUND APPLE

1. Round apple, round apple,
`As round as can be,
For to see Molly Byrne
In her carriage go round.

2.In her carriage, in her carriage,
By night and by day,
She's driving to see
Her sweetheart away.

3. Then up comes her father
With a knife in his hand,
Saying, `Give me my daughter,
Or your life I will have.'

4.'I care not, I care not,
I care not a pin,
For I love my Molly
And Molly loves me.'
