The Molly Maguires
Make way for the Molly
Maguires,
F G C
they're drinkers, they're liars but they're men.
G
Make way for the Molly
Maguires,
F G C - E
you'll never see the likes of them again.
1. Down the mines no sunlight shines,
Am
those pits they're
as black as hell.
C F
In mud and slime they do their time,
C G C
it's Paddy's
prison cell.
Am Em
And they curse the day they travelled far,
F G
and drown their
tears with a jar. So.... + CHORUS
2. Backs will break and muscles ache,
Am
down there there's
no time to dream
C F
of fields a'far, a woman's arm,
C G C
just dig that
bloody seam.
Am Em
Though they drain their bodies under ground,
F G E
who dares to push
them around. So... + CHORUS +
So...
