When will we be married, Mollie? When will we be wed?
When will we be bedded in the same bed?
You have your eye on Johnnie, long Johnnie Lee.
You have your eye on Johnnie, and a fine man he!
You have your eye on Johnnie, but you better let him be,
Cause when you go Mollie-O, you’ll be goin’ with me!
When will we be married, Mollie? When will we be wed?
When will we be bedded in the same bed? (I can’t wait!)
When will we be married, Mollie? When will we be wed?
When will we be bedded in the same bed?
You have your eye on Jimmie, fine Jimmie Fee
You have your eye on Jimmie, and a rich man he!
You have your eye on Jimmie, but you better let him be,
Cause when you go Mollie-O, you’ll be goin’ with me!
I bought a bonny bow for your pretty hair.
When will we be married, Mollie? When will we be wed?

Leslie Medford is a dude from a world that no longer exists!The two bands he led 1984-1991 have their own bandcamp pages
under The Ophelias and HighHorse. Medford was a busy fellow during his pro period (1982-1992) and this site covers solo things & side projects from as early as 1975 and as recent as 2004.There is tremendous variety here, of a high standard of idea, if not always execution.Enjoy!...more
