Old 97'sare an "alt-country" band originally based in Dallas, Texas. The group formed in 1993 and took their name from a song popularized by Johnny Cash, "Wreck of the Old '97." They describe themselves as a rock band with influences as varied as The Kinks, The Beatles, Pixies, David Bowie, Johnny Cash, and Merle Haggard. The band often performs country standards made famous by the latter two musicians, and has interspersed a number of these on their half-dozen albums over the last decade. Old 97's have been heralded as a great live band, although they claim to never rehearse their act. They included five live songs as a bonus disc on Satellite Rides, and released a live double CD set recorded at historic Gruene Hall in 2005, Alive and Wired.

Miss Molly Lyrics

Old 97's

Oh have you seen miss molly. her cheeks are rosy red.
Her lips are soft as satin and they taste like ginger bread.

Oh. oh. oh. me oh my miss molly, i'm in love with you.
Me oh my miss molly won't you say you love me too.

Now when miss molly smiles, the sun is dim a spell.
And when she laughs her voice is like a little silver bell.

Oh. oh. oh. me oh my miss molly, i'm in love with you.
Me oh my miss molly won't you say you love me too.

I'll trade my horse and saddle, my drivin' i'll resign,
If only miss molly would say that she'll be mine.

Oh. oh. oh. me oh my miss molly, i'm in love with you.
Me oh my miss molly won't you say you love me too.

Now listen here miss molly, i've told you once before.
But even though i've told you so, i'll tell you just once
More

Oh. oh. oh. me oh my miss molly, i'm in love with you.
Me oh my miss molly won't you say you love me too.
