Courting Is a Pleasure Lyrics by Jim Moray

Skulk

2012

Oh courting is a pleasure
Between my love and I
It was down in yon green valley
I'll meet her by and by
It was down in yon green valley
She is my heart's delight
Oh Molly, lovely Molly
Please stay with me till light
Going to church last Sunday
My true love's passed me by
I knew her mind had altered
By the roving of her eye
I knew her mind had altered
To a lad of high degree
Oh Molly, lovely Molly
Your looks have wounded me
Then came her love Willie
With a bottle in his hand
Saying "drink this lovely Molly
For love can never stand"
Saying "drink this lovely Molly
For bottle must go free
Ten guineas of a wager
That married we ne'r shall be"
For I'll never marry a false young girl
With dark and roving eyes
Just you kiss her, and you embrace her
Never tell her the reason why
Just you kiss her and embrace her
Till you cause her heart to yield
For a false-hearted soldier
Will never gain the field
