　　I wish my love was a red, red rose

　　growing in yon garden fair

　　And I to be the gardener

　　of her I would take care

　　There's not a month throughout the year

　　but my love I'd renew

　　I'd garnish her with flowers fine

　　sweet William, Thyme and Rue

　　I wish I was a butterfly

　　I'd light on my love's breast

　　And if I was a blue cuckoo

　　I'd sing my love to rest

　　And if I was a nightingale

　　I'd sing to daylight clear

　　I'd sit and sing with you, Molly

　　for once I loved you dear

　　I wish I was in Dublin town,

　　and seated on the grass

　　In my right hand, a jug of punch, and on my knee, a lass

　　I'd call for liquor freely and I'd pay before I'd go

　　I'd roll my Molly in my arms, let the wind blow high or low

　　I'd roll my Molly in my arms, let the wind blow high or low
