"Molly Rose" by Willy Tea Taylor


Well no one was fearing, or knew of his plan
The Miner Lee MacGowan lived in highland
Where he stayed up each night foreboding near a year
And he'd whisper it softly, so no one would hear

Molly Rose, I'm coming for you
And I'll kill anybody, that don't want me too
The blood'll spill an ocean and then we'll set sail
Molly Rose, my darling, get ready for hell

Molly Rose was a lively, beauty of a whore
No man was so strong he couldn't come back for more
On a night that the moon had the cats a-howlin
In the whorehouse walked a darkness by the name of Lee MacGowan

He came there at night to take Mollys life
He had a bleeding heart, two forty-fours and his favorite knife

Molly Rose, I'm coming for you
And I'll kill anybody, that don't want me to
The blood'll spill an ocean and then we'll set sail
Molly Rose, my darling, get ready for hell

He was struck by her beauty, as she walked down the stairs
Every man's eyes were on her, wishing that she was theirs
Her seductive smile soon turned to a frown,
When she gazed upon a smiling man by the name of Lee MacGowan

She knew this face well, so dark and so cold
He nearly had to kill the man about a year ago
She shot him down with her Derringer, she took him right to death
But he fled away and returned today, to take her last breath

Molly Rose, I'm coming for you
And I'll kill anybody, that don't want me to
The blood'll spill an ocean and then we'll set sail
Molly Rose, my darling, get ready for hell

She knew I was there, she let out a cry, 
Three men in the whorehouse, they ran to her side.
The gun started blasting, bodies fell to the ground
The only two left standing, were Molly Rose and Lee MacGowan

And he smiled at her bloody, they shot him 6 times
But he ran for the staircase and he pulled out his knife
And he grabbed Molly Rose she was trembling with fear
And he held a knife right to her throat and he whispered in her ear

Molly Rose well I've come for you
And I killed anybody that didn't want me to
The blood made an ocean, now it's time we set sail
Molly Rose my darling, welcome to hell
