The war began and Henry left his farm
Left his darling Molly with a baby in her arms
Now the war was over and their life could begin
Molly saw her darling standing at the door again
It's so nice to hear your voice again Molly
So nice to feel your arms around me Molly
Oh how happy I'd be if I only could see you
Sweet sweet Molly please don't cry
Maybe I should have written to let you know ahead a time
But I was afraid that you'd worry if you knew that I'd gone blind
Do I hear you crying Molly please don't cry you silly thing
See what you've done you've even brought a tear into my eye
Oh how happy I'd be if I only could see you
Sweet sweet Molly please don't cry
Where's my son why does he looks like Molly
Everybody says he took after me Lord I wish I could see
Come here little man don't be afraid I'm your daddy
Guess he'll get used to me in time won't he Molly
It's so nice to hear your voice again Molly
Please don't cry
