As requested! There were some parts of this I couldn't make out. This is what I came up with.
Pat Dolan is my Christian name and this I'll tell to you
And if you'll listen to my tale, I'll tell you something new
In Cavan town where we sat down, our hearts there to inspire
There's bold recruits and ????? youths
Said Molly to her darlin' sons, "the tyrant shall be humbled
That filthy tribe, we can't abide, they rob both meek and humble
There is one man, a child of hell, a magistrate in station
At last we've drawn, to see whose gun, will send him to damnation"
With me rigga-a-dum-do, and to hell with the crew
With me pistol, sword and fire
With bold recruits and ????? youths
And it's up with the Molly Maguires
The lots were cast, ????????? passed, I scorn to tell a lie
For I'm the one that used the gun that caused a man to die
So off to slay I did repair and I did my job quite well
For at his bain, I took me aim, and down that tyrant fell
Now for this deed, his friends indeed, sent out a fearful call
Those Orangemen they all gathered then and swore to kill us all
But Molly's sons with swords and guns, and pikes were all aglancin',
Those bold recruits and ????? youths, stepped onto the field just prancin',
With me rigga-a-dum-do, and to hell with the crew
With me pistol, sword and fire
With bold recruits and ????? youths
And it's up with the Molly Maguires
Those Orangemen they all stood then, to fight they thought it folly
They'd rather run and save their lives, and leave the field to Molly
Although I'm in a foreign land, ???????? I'll ne'er retire
May heaven smile on every child that belongs to Molly Maguire
With me rigga-a-dum-do, and to hell with the crew
With me pistol, sword and fire
With bold recruits and ????? youths
And it's up with the Molly Maguires
James McPharlan sang this song in the barroom of Pat Domer's Sheridan House in Pottsville, November 1873. He was a Pinkerton detective who infiltrated and even rose to become an officer in the Union. McPharlan gave information to the police and many were arrested. Irish and catholics were barred from the jury. Twenty members were convicted and then hung.
