CHORUS
Make way for the Molly Maguires
They're drinkers they're lyers 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 mud and slime they do their time
It's Paddy's prison cell
And they curse the day they travelled far
Then drown their tears with a jar
REPEAT CHORUS
Backs will break and muscles ache
Down there there's no time to dream
Of fields and farms a womans arm
Just dig that bloody seam
Though they drain their bodies underground
Who'll dare to push them around
