Molly McGuire - Molly Maguire lyrics

rate me

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 black as hell

In modest style they do their time

It's Paddy's prison cell

And they curse the day they travelled far

And drown their tears with a jar

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

Backs will break and the muscles ache

Down there there's four times to three

Of fields afar of a womans arm

Just dig that bloody seam

Though they drain their bodies and their brow

Who dare to push them around.
