Molly Maguires Lyrics

Molly Maguires

Chorus:
Make way for the Molly Maguires
They're drinkers, they're liars but they're men
Make way for the Molly Maguires
You'll never see the likes of them again

Down the mines no sunlight shines
Those pits they're as black as hell
In mud and slime they do their pine
It's Paddy's prison cell
And they curse the day they travelled far
And drown their tears with a jar

So, ...Chorus,

Backs will break and muscles ache
Down there there's no time to dream
Of fields and farms and woman's arm
Just dig that bloody seam
Though they drain their bodies underground
Who'll dare to push them around?

So, ...Chorus and repeated chorus.
