Molly (Biff Rose) Songtext
von Rob Crow

When I was a young man
I ran away from home
I went to join the circus
I went to see the cotton whirl
And make me lots on money on my own
For molly, oh my pretty Molly
She′s waiting all alone
Someday soon I will return to her.
Then I made the big time
Bright lights—show biz
I'm really in the circus
There′s only one thing wrong:
I haven't saved a penny on my own
For Molly, oh my pretty Molly
She's writing everyday But Molly understands so it′s OK.
Ride a windy box car
See a thousand children young and old
Ah that grease paint smile can hide your soul
Here comes a carrousel guess which town it is
Feel the thrill
Grease paint covers everything
Winters chill
I′m reading Molly's letter.
The ink is fading
And the page is turning yellow
Long ago, I promised Molly
Don′t you know I...
I will close my eyes and go to her.
