When I was a young man I ran away trom home
I went to join the circus
Went to see the cotton candy whirl
And make me lots ot money on my own
For molly, oh my pretty molly
But she's waiting all alone
Someday soon I will return to her
Then I made the big time bright 11ghts show business
I'm really in the circus
There's only one thing wrong
I haven't saved a penny on my own
For molly, oh my pretty molly
But she's writing everyday
Molly understands so it's okay
Ride a windy box car see a thousand children young and old
Oh that grease paint smile can hide your soul
Here comes a carrousel, guess which town it is
Feel the thrill
Grease paint covers everything but winters 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
