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.
