One starry night as I lay sleepin' One starry night as I lay in bed Dreamed I heard wagon wheels a'creakin' When I awoke, love, found you had fled I'll search the highways likewise the byways I'll search the boreens, the camping places too I will inquire of all our people Have they tide or tidings or sight of you For it's many's the mile, love, with you I've traveled Many's the hour, love, with you I've spent Dreamed you were my love forever But now I find, love, you were only lent I'll go across the seas to England To London or to Birmingham And in some public house, I'll find you Lamenting your lost love back home I'm drunk today, I'm seldom sober A handsome rover from town to town When I am dead, my story ended Molly Bán a stoirín, come lay me down One starry night as I lay sleepin' One starry night as I lay in bed Dreamed I heard wagon wheels a'creakin' Now that you're gone, love, I might as well be dead
