Molly Maguires Lyrics

Luke Kelly Molly Maguires

F C
Make way for the Molly Maguires,
B C F
They're drinkers, they're liars, but they're men.
F C
Make way for the Molly Maguires,
B C F
You'll never see the likes of them again.

d F d
Down the mines no sunlight shines, those pits they're
black as hell;
F B F C F
In modest style they do their time, it's Paddy's prison
cell;

d a B C
And they curse the day they travelled far and drown their
tears with a jar

So, make way for the Molly Maguires...

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.

So, make way for the Molly Maguires... (2x)
