MOLLY MY DEAR (Maire a Run). AKA - "Ó Máire Dhlis," "O! Molly Dear," "O Molly My Dear." Irish, Air (3/8 time). G Major (most versions): F Major (O'Flannagan). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The air was employed by Thomas Moore (1779-1852) for his song "At the Mid Hour of Night," but seems to have been based on a harp air with a faster (9/8) tempo.
O Molly my dear, I hear you're getting a man.
It would make my heart ache to see your wedding go on.
For fear of a fall, recall your senses in time,
For in spite of them all, sweet charming Molly, you're mine! ... (O'Sullivan/Bunting)
