Molly

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

A tiny white fluff with a spirit so grand,

A rock or a shoe clutched tight in your hand.

"Just look," your eyes said, "but don't you dare touch,"

Then dancing on back legs, you loved me so much.

A Maltese-Shitzu, though you longed for the field,

Your true cattle dog heart could never be concealed.

No bath could keep clean that adventurous streak,

A wild little spirit, uniquely unique.

Chorus

Oh, Molly, sweet Molly, my mischievous dear,

For nine precious years, you banished all fear.

You barked at the shadows and guarded my soul,

Leaving a paw print that made me feel whole.

Verse 2

No matter the hour, the night or the day,

Your greeting brought sunshine to light up my way.

A tail-wagging frenzy, a joyful sound heard,

Every moment with you was a cherished new word.

You carried a spirit too big for your size,

A fierce little guardian with loving, deep eyes.

A cattle dog's heart in a fluff-ball's soft shell,

Your unique, loving story, we'll always tell.

Chorus

Oh, Molly, sweet Molly, my mischievous dear,

For nine precious years, you banished all fear.

You barked at the shadows and guarded my soul,

Leaving a paw print that made me feel whole.

Bridge

Mummy will always love you, my sweet little friend,

A spot in my heart that will never quite mend.

I miss your wild nature, your playful delight,

You filled every moment with warmth and with light.

Instrumental - banjo, acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh, Molly, sweet Molly, my mischievous dear,

For nine precious years, you banished all fear.

You barked at the shadows and guarded my soul,

Leaving a paw print that made me feel whole.

Outro

Now you're running our farm, free as the breeze,

Chasing bandicoots through the green growing trees.

Protecting your loved ones, a mum in your soul,

My beautiful Molly, forever made whole.

Outro - acoustic guitar fade
