Kailyarders - Molly at the Rail Lyrics

Have I caught you cryin', Molly
Standing lonely at the rail
Come and join your anxious family
As the crew prepares to sail

Have you doubt within you, Molly
Doubt will our companion be
With naught but waiting to employ us
As we idle 'cross the sea

When we reach our destination
Set your hands to work again
Teach and feed and clothe the children
Leave the brute work to the men

There's things I'll never tell you, Molly
How I left my soul back o'er the sea
For my children, this I'll do
Securing their prosperity

All the hills and trees and mountains
Can't replace the Holy Ground
But our ship is carried west
For North Amerikay, we're bound

I can feel you tremble Molly
Half with hope and half with fear
What will come a-new tomorrow
Is the answered promise near

Have I caught you smilin' Molly
Pointing; standing at the rail
Ellis Island fast approaches
Soon the new world we'll unveil
Soon the new world we'll unveil
