Molly O'

That ship of fools set sail

Wasn't long till it ran aground

You can hear their cries for mercy

You can hear that wailing sound

She was the last one to die

Of the two thousand souls

And as sleep took her gently

Death and darkness take ahold

Molly O'

Like a ghost from the past

To her we raise a glass

Molly O'

On the highest of tides

May she rise to the sky

She was born in the east of Glanmire

Just another sleepy Irish town

With a suitcase full of redemption

And a ticket for a ship that went down

No distress signal was sent

Molly O' was twenty two

When the slanting walls of water

Turned it into a graveyard in blue

Molly O'

Like a ghost from the past

To her we raise a glass

Molly O'

On the highest of tides

May she rise into the sky

That ship of fools has sailed

Won't take long till it runs aground

You can hear those mamas weeping

From Halifax and London town

She danced her sacred walls

And watched that black water rise

The ocean don't give up the dead

I bet ol' Molly's still inside

Molly O'

Like a ghost from the past

To her we raise a glass

Molly O'

Turning lies into truth

Unfurl over you

Molly O'

You can't have it all

Gotta rise up and fall

Molly O'

On the highest of tides

May she rise to the sky
