The Town Pants - The Molly McGuires lyrics

rate me

Though they drain their bodies underground

Who'd dare to push them around?

Make way for the Molly McGuires

They're drinkers they're liars but they're men

Make way for the Molly McGuires

You'll never see the likes of them again

Down the mines no sunlight shines

Those pits they're black as hell

In mud and slime they do their time

Its paddy's prison cell

And they curse the day they travelled far

And drown their tears in a jar

Backs will break and muscles ache

Down there there's no time to dream

Of fields and farms a woman's arms

Just dig that bloody seam

Though they drain their bodies underground

Who'd dare to push them around
