I have not sung this in years and I am writing the words from memory but it goes something like this:      


      Molly Ban
   (1)
Now I am sad and lonely, here in this distant west
The happy thoughts of bygone days at night disturb my rest
Forever in this heart of mine, forgot it never shall be
Were the days I spent with Molly Ban, a-boating on Loch Righ (Ree)

    (chorus)
For she was tall and slender and gentle as a fawn
Her eyes they shone like diamonds bright or the stars of early dawn
A smile she had for everyone but her kisses were only for me
'Twas chance I gazed on Molly Ban a-boating on Loch Righ

   (2)
The day she said she'd be my own, so happy then was I
And pleasant dreams of childhood years , so swiftly they passed by
Some day she planned to be my bride, but alas t'was not to be
For an angel claimed her for his own and took her from Loch Righ

   (3)
Oh I have lived a lonely life, my hair's a silver hue
A plaintive voice rings in my ear in a tone I can't subdue
A lovely form still lingers there and a face I think I see
Of my darling Molly Ban a-boating on Loch Righ
