I first learned Molly Bawn from the singing of Sid Martell (see above) on the old Cape Breton Barn Dance show on CJCB-TV. I have a recording of Charley MacKinnon singing a sequel, The Son Of Molly Bawn, but I am missing a few words. If anyone can fill in the blanks would they please post them in? I would be happy to send anyone an mp3 of Charley's song.
   Thanks!

The Son Of Molly Bawn

The deepening shadows softly fell one evening years ago
Down by the banks of the blue Loch Ri where the bonny bluebells grow
Down by the ------- in the river's ----- where my daddy told to me
The story of young Molly Bawn a-boating on Loch Ri

A locket and a chain of gold he then did give to me
And told me of the love he knew and cherished tenderly
How the angels claimed his bonny young bride, to Heaven she had gone
But she left to him another love, the son of Molly Bawn

Now where the blue Loch Ri flows to the sea in a little churchyard there
The bonny heather grows around the grave of one so fair
And every evening shadows fall and slowly lights the dawn
From her home above she smiles with love on the son of Molly Bawn

Oh she was tall and slender, her eyes like diamonds shone
They sparkled like stars that shine o'er the skies at early dawn
Her smile so fai,r her beauty rare that ere the sun shone on
And that smile of love shines from above on the son of Molly Bawn
