Dan Milner	Songs about Molly Maguires (110* d)	RE: Molly Maguires: Songs about?	04 Sep 98
Further to Big Mick's comments on 21AUG, the best song I've heard about the Molly Maguires is about the Mollys in Ireland and their anti-landlordism fight... All you who love your liberty, I hope you will draw near And likewise pay attention and listen unto me. I am a man far from my home in sorrow, grief and woe. Both night and day I mourn away since I left the Shamrock Shore. It was my cruel landlord that I must blame for all. He took from me my farm of land although it was but small. I paid my rent and taxes but he sent me off to roam To seek for employment far from my native home. * * * * * * * My name is Pat Maguire, I'm a shoemaker by trade. I'm one of Molly's darling sons that never was afraid. And if every man in Paddy's land would do the same as me. And fight landlord, sheriff and baliff, then Old Ireland would be free.
