On a misty morning when the sun did rise
I saw three ships come sailing in
To the Galway bay, 'twas the month of May
Their arrival said spring has began
On a blue sky day when the sun did shine
I saw three ships come sailing in
To the Kinsale dunes, 'twas the month of June
They arrived upon the summer lands
On a windy day when the sun did set
I saw three ships come sailing in
To the Dingle bay, 'twas an autumn day
Their arrival marked the fall again
On a cold dark night when the sky was clear
I saw three ships come sailing in
To Portmagee, on a winter's eve
Their arrival marked the cold again
Yes, three ships came sailing in
But still no Molly Flannigan
She left the land out for London
And never once came home again
I guess I'm just a hopeless man
I'll sit here counting boats again
Yes, three ships came sailing in
But still no Molly Flannigan

On a misty morning when the sun did rise
I saw three ships come sailing in
To the Galway bay, 'twas the month of May
Their arrival said spring has began
On a blue sky day when the sun did shine
I saw three ships come sailing in
To the Kinsale dunes, 'twas the month of June
They arrived upon the summer lands
On a windy day when the sun did set
I saw three ships come sailing in
To the Dingle bay, 'twas an autumn day
Their arrival marked the fall again
On a cold dark night when the sky was clear
I saw three ships come sailing in
To Portmagee, on a winter's eve
Their arrival marked the cold again
Yes, three ships came sailing in
But still no Molly Flannigan
She left the land out for London
And never once came home again
I guess I'm just a hopeless man
I'll sit here counting boats again
Yes, three ships came sailing in

I saw three ships come sailing in

She left the land out for London
And never once came home again
I guess I'm just a hopeless man
I'll sit here counting boats again
Yes, three ships came sailing in
But still no Molly Flannigan
