Molly and Nellie - Written by Dell Sweet

Song Title: Molly and Nellie. Style: ALT

Verse 1

Molly and Nellie were lovers, such a simple thing to be. Not looking for the world, just some time to call their own...

And it seemed like life was going by so fast, everyone so happy and high, never watchin' where the road was goin'...

Hook 1

And the road it turned so fast, but, Honey, life was never made to last. When she lost her love she just couldn't go on. Just couldn't go on... So she laid her body down... She laid her body down...

Instrumental------------------------------------------------

Verse 2

I see her face in the morning sun, and the setting in the evening... … She said... Sometimes it hurts me so...

And I feel her calling in the early morn, and when the moon is riding high... I hear her voice and I have to go...

Hook 2

And, Baby, the road it turned so fast... Who told us, Honey, life was meant to last. When they laid my baby down, I just couldn't go on. Just couldn't go on... So I laid my body down... Yes I laid my body down...

Verse 3

See, she called to me, Baby, it's cold here, where the sun don't shine, and the world don't turn, and I miss you so...

Yes she called to me to come back to her arms, hold so she wouldn't be alone, the world's so dark, and I had to go...

Hook 3

And my love, your love's come home, where the earth don't turn, and the winds not blowin'

When they laid you down I just couldn't go on, just couldn't go on... So I laid my body down, yes I laid my body down...
