Ray Songs about Molly Maguires (110* d) RE: Molly Maguires: Songs about? 22 Aug 03

We took great liberties with the song
"Lament for the Molly MaGuires," to make
it more palatable for those of us who
descended from Pennsylvania anthracite
coal miners, i.e. we "deranged" the last
verse from:

But terror ends as it hadn't begun,
Jake McParlin, he ended the run.
He left as a Molly and he brought their fate.
After many years he ended the hate.

to:

But the era ended as it hadn't begun,
Jake McParlin, he ended their run,
But they could not kill what the Mollies began,
A dawning of freedom for the working man.
