Just Us Lillys - Hold On, Molly

Hold On, Molly
(John Lilly)

CHORUS
Hold on, Molly, I’m coming.
Hold on, Molly, I’ll be there tonight.
A warm breeze is blowing, and the sun’s sinking low,
So Molly hold on tight.

Our years here together were heaven on earth.
We worked and prayed side by side;
Your banjo ringing, your voice like a bell,
Your green eyes sparkling bright.

You took your baptizing in the Ohio River,
While a passing steamboat whistle blew.
No house of gold or tramp on the street
Was ever a stranger to you.

When you went on before me I tried to carry on,
Like you asked me to do.
Now my eyes are heavy, and I’m drifting off to sleep,
And our years of waiting are through.

I’m traveling that highway home,
I’m traveling that highway home.

A warm breeze is blowing, and the sun’s sinking low,
So Molly, hold on tight –

Dear Molly, hold on tight.
