|
When i was a young man |
|
I ran away trom home |
|
I went to join the circus |
|
Went to see the cotton candy whirl |
|
And make me lots ot money on my own |
|
For molly, oh my pretty molly |
|
But she's waiting all alone |
|
Someday soon i will return to her |
|
Then i made the big time |
|
Bright 11ghts show biz |
|
I'm really in the circus |
|
There's only one thing wrong |
|
I haven't saved a peony on my own |
|
For molly, oh my pretty molly |
|
But she's writing everyday |
|
Molly understands so it's okay |
|
Ride a windy box car |
|
See a thousand children young and old |
|
Oh that grease paint smile |
|
Can hide your soul |
|
Here comes a carrousel |
|
Guess which town it is |
|
Feel the thnil |
|
Grease paint covers everything |
|
But winters chill |
|
I'm reading molly's letter |
|
The ink is fading |
|
And the page is fuming yellow |
|
Long ago i promised molly |
|
Don't you know i |
|
I will close my eyes and go to her |
|
Words and music by rose |
