Biografía:
Bill Morrissey (November 25, 1951 – July 23, 2011) was an American folk singer-songwriter from New Hampshire. Many of his songs reflect the harsh realities of life in crumbling New England mill towns.
Hailing from New Hampshire in the northeastern United States, singer-songwriter Bill Morrissey wrote about everyday life on the fringes, both geographical--e.g., fading mill towns, railyards, prisons--and interpersonal--e.g., instant infatuation with an unknown woman at a bar.

(D)I park my cab on (Bm)Water Street.
I'm (D)waiting for A (Bm)fare.
(D)Watch the young girls in (Bm)their first heels
Step like (D)colts across the (Bm)square.
(G)Fire on the ocean,
Thunder on the (D)sea. (Bm) (D) (Bm)
I (A)think of Handsome Molly...(G)...
wherever she may (D)be. (Bm)
(D)Now, I'm either in this (Bm)cowboy bar,
(D)never in the(Bm) choir,
(D)Sometimes howlin' and (Bm)amazed
like the wind (D) hung up on (Bm)barbed wire.
(G)Fire on the ocean,
Thunder on the (D)sea. (Bm)
I (A)think of Handsome Molly...(G)......
and what she promised (D)me. (Bm)
(D)Well, it's pretty doe-eyed (Bm)Molly

(D)It was a hard trade she (Bm)made
just to see it (D) black (Bm)and white.

find all the (D) salt that's in (Bm) the air."
(G)Fire on the ocean,
Thunder on the (D)sea. (Bm)
I (A)think of Handsome Molly...(G)......
who cried so (D)easily. (Bm)

they eye the (Bm)little girls.
(D) And the little girls of (Bm)Water Street
will take (D) them 'round (Bm)the world.
(G)Fire on the ocean,
Thunder on the (D)sea. (Bm)
I (A)think of Handsome Molly...(G)......
wherever she may (D) be. (Bm)
