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 darlin` standin` 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 of time.
But I was afraid that you`d worry,
If you knew that I`d gone blind.
Do I hear you cryin`, Molly?
Please don`t cry, you silly thing.
See what you`ve done?
You`ve even brought a tear to my eye.
Oh how happy i`d be if i only could see you sweet, sweet Molly.
Please dont cry.
Wheres my son? What does he look like, Molly?
Everyone says he took after me.
Lord, I wish I could see.
`Come here little man;
Don`t be afraid, I`m your daddy.
I guess you`ll get used to me in time,` wont he, Molly?
It`s so nice the 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 dont cry, please dont cry.
