[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"
