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
