Breast of Glass Songtext
von Jake Xerxes Fussell
Breast of Glass Songtext
Wish I was in London
Some other seaport town
Step my foot on a steamboat
I′d sail the ocean 'round
Sail it ′round
Don't you remember, Molly?
You gave me your right hand
You said if we ever married
I would be the man
I'd be the man
While sailing ′round the ocean
Sailing ′round the sea
I'd think of Handsome Molly
Wherever she might be
Where she might be
When I′m for miles and miles away
All on some distant shore
Among the rocks and mountains where
The wild beasts howl and roar
They howl and roar
If I had a breast of glass
Wherein you might behold
Your name in secret I would write
In letters of bright gold
In bright gold
Some other seaport town
Step my foot on a steamboat
I′d sail the ocean 'round
Sail it ′round
Don't you remember, Molly?
You gave me your right hand
You said if we ever married
I would be the man
I'd be the man
While sailing ′round the ocean
Sailing ′round the sea
I'd think of Handsome Molly
Wherever she might be
Where she might be
When I′m for miles and miles away
All on some distant shore
Among the rocks and mountains where
The wild beasts howl and roar
They howl and roar
If I had a breast of glass
Wherein you might behold
Your name in secret I would write
In letters of bright gold
In bright gold
