Biff Rose Molly
When I was a young man
I ran away from home
I went to join the circus
I went to see the cotton candy world
And make me lots of money
On my own
For Molly oh my pretty Molly
She's waitin' all alone
Someday soon I will return to her
Then I made the big time
Bright lights show biz
I'm really in the circus
There's only one thing wrong
I haven't saved a penny on my own
For Molly ah my pretty Molly
But she's writing every day
Molly understands so it's okay
Ride a windy boxcar
And see a thousand children young and old.
Oh that greasepaint smile can hide you so
Here comes the carousel
Guess wich town it is
Feel the thrill
Greasepaint covers everything
But winter's chill
I'm reading Molly's letter
The ink is fading and
The page is turning yellow
Long ago
I promised Molly
Don't you know I
I will close my eyes
And go to her
