Molly Maguires Songtext
von Luke Kelly

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 are black as hell
In mud and slime they do their time
It's Paddy′s prison cell
They cursed the day they travelled far
Then drowned their tears with a jar


So 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 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 drained their bodies underground
Who dared to push them around

So 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
