  • When I was a young man
    I ran away from home
    I went to join the circus
    Went to see the cotton candy whirl
    And make me lots of 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 biz
    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 carousel
    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 fuming yellow
    Long ago, I promised Molly
    Don't you know I
    I will close my eyes and go to her? Writer/s: BIFF ROSE
