Joe, that's the same one Seamus Kennedy has on his "On the Rocks" album. The lyrics are here.

AS an alternative to Sarah's method, just type molly maguire into the very useful "Digitrad and Forum Search" box on the main Forum page; it searches the Forum and the Digital Tradition database, and will get you not only the words you are looking for, but a number of discussions with related songs and background information.  A search for molly mcguire would get you fewer hits, but would show you the more usual spelling of the name in this context, which you could then use to expand your search.

Hi, Tim,

There's a song, "The Molly McGuires," in the Digitrad under "M." (The blue box at the top of this thread has letters in the bottom. The "M" will take you directly there to scroll down to the song tiltle.) Is this the one you're hunting?
