[Verse 1]
Awake, awake you drowsy sleeper
How can you lie and slumber so
When your true love is a-goin' to leave you
And never to return anymore?
[Verse 2]
How can you slumber on your pillow
When your true love must stand and wait?
And must I go and wear the willow
In sorrow mournin' for your sake?
[Verse 3]
"Oh, Molly dear, go ask your father
If you my bride, my bride can be?
And then return and quickly tell me
And I no more shall trouble thee"
[Verse 4]
"Oh no, I cannot ask my father
He's lyin' on his bed of rest
And in his hand is a silver dagger
To pierce the one that I lovе best"
[Verse 5]
"Down in yon valley therе grows a green yarrow
I wish that yarrow shot through my breast
It would end my dream, it would end my sorrow
And set my troubled heart at rest"
Awake, awake you drowsy sleeper
How can you lie and slumber so
When your true love is a-goin' to leave you
And never to return anymore?
[Verse 2]
How can you slumber on your pillow
When your true love must stand and wait?
And must I go and wear the willow
In sorrow mournin' for your sake?
[Verse 3]
"Oh, Molly dear, go ask your father
If you my bride, my bride can be?
And then return and quickly tell me
And I no more shall trouble thee"
[Verse 4]
"Oh no, I cannot ask my father
He's lyin' on his bed of rest
And in his hand is a silver dagger
To pierce the one that I lovе best"
[Verse 5]
"Down in yon valley therе grows a green yarrow
I wish that yarrow shot through my breast
It would end my dream, it would end my sorrow
And set my troubled heart at rest"
