Come Up The Stairs by Bardic
Come Up The Stairs lyrics
Young Molly was handsome and pretty
I dressed and put on me new coat
And off to the mainland to meet her
Myself and the small rowing boat
I hadn�t gone more than a furlong
When holes in the bottom did sproat
A big wave came up and capsized me
Myself and the small rowin� boat
Well up came a great big sea serpent
He was forty feet long now or more
He had one look at seldom features
And offered to take me ashore
�Oh where are you goin� in such weather?�
�I was going courtin� Molly,�says I.
�For there�s no young ones left on the island
So how�s a young man to get by ?�
Why don�t you and Molly get married
And then you can both stay at home
For it�s better to suffer in marriage
Than cathin� your death in the cold
Well tonight I will ask her to marry
I�m hopin� that she will agree
for I�d rather be poor and be married
Than riskin� me life on the sea
Come up the stairs, up the stairs,
Come up the stairs, Molly O
Come up the stairs, Come up the stairs,
Bring somethin� to warm me old bones
(It�s yourself could be warmin�me bones)
