The Molly Maguires Lyrics - Dubliners

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've travelled far 

Then drown 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, of womans arms 

Just dig that bloody seam 

Though they drain their bodies underground 

Who'll dare 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 

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
