Additional verses:

Out of the blue - just passin' thru
A young flight sergeant
On two weeks leave - 
Says "Molly McGee - no one else will do!"
And seals the tea-leaf prophecy
Oh these nights are strong and soft -
Private passions and secret storms
Nothin' about him ticks her off
And he looks so cute in his uniform
She plants her garden in the spring
He does the winter shovelling
But summer's just a sneeze
In a long-long-bad-winter cold
She says "I'm leavin' here" but she don't go.

"Sleep little darlin'!
This is your happy home.
Hiroshima cannot be pardoned!
Don't have kids when you get grown
Because, this world is shattered.
The wise are mourning -
The fools are joking.
Oh - what does it matter?
The wash needs ironing
And the fire needs stoking."
She plants her garden in the spring
He does the winter shovelling
The three of 'em laughin' 'round the radio
She says "I'm leavin' here" but she don't go.

She plants her garden in the spring
They do the winter shovelling
They sit up late and watch the Johnny Carson Show
She says "I'm leavin' here" but she don't go.
