D Bm C G
I wish my love was a red, red rose growing in yon garden fair
Bm Em Am Bm Em G C G
And I to be the gardener, of her I would take care
Bm Em Am Bm Em G C G
There's not a month throughout the year, but my love I'd renew
D Bm C G
I'd garnish her with flowers fine, sweet William, Thyme and Rue

G D Bm C G
I wish I was a butterfly, I'd light on my love's breast
Bm Em Am Bm Em G C G
And if I was a blue cuckoo, I'd sing my love to rest
Bm Em Am Bm Em G C G
And if I was a nightingale, I'd sing the daylight clear
D Bm C G
I'd sit and sing with you, Molly, for once I loved you dear
[Instrumental]

D Bm C G
I wish I was in Dublin town and seated on the grass
Bm Em Am Bm Em G C G
In my right hand, a jug of punch, and on my knee, a lass
Bm Em Am Bm Em G C
I'd call for liquor freely and I'd pay before I'd go
G D Bm C G
I'd roll my Molly in my arms, let the wind blow high or low
