skw@worldmusic.de	Songs about Molly Maguires (110* d)	Lyr Add: THE MOLLY MAGUIRES^^^	21 Aug 98
The Dubliners sing a song I suppose is about this thread, written by Phil Coulter, on their 1969 album 'At Home With The Dubliners'. I've always wondered who exactly the Molly Maguires were. Now I (sort of) know. Any further information is certainly welcome. - Susanne Chorus: 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 curse the day they travelled far And drown their tears with a jar Backs will break and muscles ache Down there there's no time to dream Of fields and farms, a woman's arms Just dig that bloody seam Though they break their bodies underground Who dare to push them around
