    (continued from previous page)
    The day of his trial to her uncle she did appear
    Saying uncle, dear uncle Jimmy Reynolds I free
    With my white shawl about me he took me for a swan
    But awoe and alack, I'm his own Molly Ban.
    The girls of this country they are sad now she's dead,
    But get them together, put them in a row
    And Molly's young beauty will shine among them like snow.
    They were got altogether and placed in a row.
    And Molly's fair beauty shone round them like snow.
