Oh, Molly

Molly slammed her suitcase down right there by that door She cussed and stomped her foot, and said “you’ll see me here no more” All she had and cared about sat squarely on that floor Molly swung that front door open wide all set to go alone Molly’s life was hard it’s true, and everyone could see She was ready to break out of that world of pain and misery Her days were full of work and chore, no one dared to disagree Molly had enough it was clear and she was bound to hit the street Oh Molly, Molly where’d you go? Oh Molly, Molly don’t you know… Your supper’s hot and your bath is drawn Your toys will get all wet out on the lawn Your momma’s got a bedtime book and song for you Molly Out there on her own was grand, the wind in her face Never had she gone so far, now free of that place She would be strong and sure, not return in disgrace But molly had a scared wide eyed look upon her face
