Molly seen pearly gates
Held up by wheat
Can't expect to find heaven in Tennessee

Wedding gown, let him go
Eddie took the spring
Left leaves for as far she could see

Hang down your head and cry
Think of all the ways to get by
When that train arrives
She's gonna ride on to town

Molly gave, gave her plans
Danced on heavens porch
There ain't nothing you can buy from any store

Singing birds can get stuck
In roses thorns
Like small misfortunes selling door to door

Hang down your head and cry
Think of all the ways to get by
When that train arrives
She's gonna ride on to town

Molly May came to see
The ground was not well kept
And she plowed three horses all night long

And the moon rang the bells
Sang a victory song
To all the crickets that were singing in the yard

Hang down your head and cry
Think of all the ways to get by
When that train arrives
She's gonna ride on to town
