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.
