When the wind blows wild at night

Past the breaker's melancholy

If you stand in the dark with your ears to

the wind

You can hear the sons of Molly.

Deep in the dark of the old mine shaft

You can smell the smoke and the fire

And the whisper low from the mine below

Is the ghost of Molly Maguire



I'll tell ya boys Mickey Doyle is my name a

And I come from Cavan County

And I shot the boss of the Lansford Mine

And my soul is up for bounty

But I will die with my head held high

For I fought for the men below

Those men who slave and sweat and die

Down in a black hell hole.




I'll tell ya boys Edward Kelly is my name

And I'm hanging in the morning

For I shot Jack Jones for skinning my bones

How I curse the sound of mourning

But I will die with my held held high

For I fought for the men below

Those men who slave and sweat and die

Down in a black hell hole.



So I'll tell ya boys Alex Campbell is my name

And no pistol did I fire

But I will fall from the gallows wall

Just for being a Molly Maguire

And I will die with my held held high

For I fought for the men below

Those men who slave and sweat and die

Down in a black hell hole
