Down in County Kerry on the Emerald Isle Two lovers made a vow to be true And Patrick O'Leary told Molly Malone My darlin' I'll come back for you When the warm sun of Kansas makes the grain grow tall My darlin' I'll come back for you Sail away my darlin' to America I will wait in Ireland for ye When the warm sun of Kansas makes the grain grow tall My darlin, you'll come back for me Patrick had a brother who was already there And together they worked on the land He built a little cabin and planted a rose For his Molly, sweet Molly Malone And his dreams were an echo of the song in her heart, His Molly so far far away. Sail away my darlin' to America I will wait in Ireland for ye When the warm sun of Kansas makes the grain grow tall My darlin, you'll come back for me A rage of Scarlet Fever started down in the South And Kansas wasn't far away And Patrick O'Leary was buried in June Near the rose that he planted in May. But his dreams were remembered in the heart of his love, His Molly so far, far away. Sail away my darlin' to America I will wait in Ireland for ye But I'll n'er love another til the day I die When my darlin, you'll come back for me
