Molly and the Captain is the name of a pub

 On the Late West Green Harbour Arm

It was built in the mid nineteenth century 

And for many years was a fisherman’s pub 

But as the industries declined in the town 

It became the watering hole of the glitterati 

Not much as changed as one still meets 

Writers and poets actors and musicians 

Behind its green black green walls 

Many enquire about its unusual name 

But the answer is quite simple 

As Molly and the Captain 

Were a queer couple late of the sea 

Who purchased its freehold

Just after the Great War 

They died within three years of each other 

In the late fifties and for a while 

Molly and the Captain was called 

The Harbour Arms 

But as the result of local pressure 

The then owners of the pub 

Returned it to its original name 

Yet what is not so well known 

Is that the ashes of Molly and the Captain 

Were laid to rest behind plaster 

In a small space above the bar
