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 mud and slime they do their time It's Paddy's prison cell And they'll curse the day they travelled far And drowned their tears with a jar (Chorus) Backs will break and muscles ache Down there there's no time to dream Of fields and farms, of women's arms Just dig that bloody seam But they'll break their bodies underground Who'll dare to push them around
