[Verse 1]
G
O Mollie O Mollie
C G
It's for your sake alone
C G
That I leave my old parents
D G
My house and my home
[Verse 2]
G
My love for you it
C G
Has caused me to roam
C G
I'm a rabble rouser
D G
And Dixie's my home
[Verse 3]
G
Jack o' diamonds, Jack o' diamonds
C G
I know you of old
C G
You rob my poor pockets
D G
Of silver and gold
[Verse 4]
G
O Whiskey you Villian
C G
You've been my downfall
C G
You've kicked me, you've cuffed me
D G
And cause me to brawl
[Verse 5]
G
My foot's in a stirrup
C G
My bridle's in my hand
C G
I'm leavin' sweet Mollie
D G
The fairest in the land
[Verse 6]
G
Her parents don't like me
C G
They say I'm too poor
C G
They say I'm unworthy
D G
To enter her door
[Verse 7]
G
They say I drink whiskey
C G
My money's my own
C G
And them that don't like
D G
Me can leave me alone
[Verse 8]
G
I'll eat when I'm hungry
C G
I'll drink when I'm dry
C G
And when I get thirsty
D G
I'll lay down and cry
[Verse 9]
G
It's beefsteak when I'm hungry
C G
And whiskey when I'm dry
C G
Green backs when I'm hard up
D G
And hell when I die
[Verse 10]
G
Rye whiskey rye whiskey
C G
Rye whiskey I cry
C G
If I don't get rye whiskey
D G
I surely will die
[Bridge]
G6/B C G6/D
O baby, o baby
G
I've told you before
C G6/D
Do make me a pallet
G
I'll lie on the floor
[Verse 11]
G
I've rambled and trambled
C G
This wide world around
C G
Raisin' hell with the gang
D G
That's where I am bound
[Verse 12]
G
It's with these gunslingers
C G
Dear Mollie I'll roam
C G
I'm a rabble rouser
D G
And Dixie's my home
[Verse 13]
G
If the ocean were whiskey and
C G
I were a duck
C G
I'd dive to the bottom
D G
And get one sweet sup
[Verse 14]
G
But the ocean ain't whiskey
C G
And I ain't no duck
C G
So I'll play Jack o' diamonds
D G
And then we'll get drunk
[Outro]
G6/B
O baby
C G6/D G
O baby I've told you before
C
Do make me a pallet
G6/D G
I'll lie on the floor
