Text

GDesmond had a barrow in the D7market place,

Molly is the singer in a Gband.

G7Desmond says to Molly, girl I Clike your face

and Molly Gsays this as she D7takes him by the Ghand.

Ob-la-Gdi, ob-la-Bmda, life goes Emon bra.

GLa la how the D7life goes Gon.

Ob-la-Gdi, ob-la-Bmda, life goes Emon bra.

GLa la how the D7life goes Gon.

GDesmond takes a trolley to the D7jeweller's store,

buys a twenty carat golden Gring.

G7Takes it back to Molly, waiting Cat the door

and as he Ggives it to her D7she begins to Gsing.

Ob-la-Gdi, ob-la-Bmda, life goes Emon bra.

GLa la how the D7life goes Gon.

Ob-la-Gdi, ob-la-Bmda, life goes Emon bra.

GLa la how the D7life goes Gon.

In a couple of Cyears they have built a home sweet Ghome

with a couple of Ckids running in the yard

of GDesmond and Molly D7Jones.

GHappy ever after in the D7market place,

Desmond lets the children lend a Ghand.

G7Molly stays at home and does her Cpretty face

and in the Gevening she still D7sings it with the Gband.

Ob-la-Gdi, ob-la-Bmda, life goes Emon bra.

GLa la how the D7life goes Gon.

Ob-la-Gdi, ob-la-Bmda, life goes Emon bra.

GLa la how the D7life goes Gon.
