    The other day I was at a festival and one of the bands did this song called Molly. I fell in love with it but I can't find who wrote it, recorded it, or even the lyrics. Can someone help me? I remember the first words were # # # # Molly was a ... # #If that's any help.

    Could be the Tim Massey tune that Wyatt Rice recorded years ago.

    Could you meanMolly and Tenbrooks?

    It doesn't start off with molly though, it starts with:
    "Tenbrooks was a big bay horse, he wore that shaggy mane"

    this is a relatively common song....By Big Mon his self I believe.
    I should be pickin' rather than postin'

    No I think it's the wyatt rice tune. It's more of a newgrass song i guess and it's kind of a love/left me song, from what i can remember.

    I still can't find the lyrics to it though and i want to make shure it's on wyatt rice's album before i go and buy it so if anyone knows his version i could still use the lyrics.

    The one I'm thinking of has this as the bridge:

    Where have you gone now Molly
    Why did you leave me this way
    You were the one who stole my heart
    Wish she were comin back to stay

    ...or something like that

I'm so excited I think I'll call him and let him know the good news. Now the problem is getting it out of my head!
