When the wind blows wild at night Past the breaker’s melan choly 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 Carbon County And I shot the boss of the Lansford Mine Now 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.
So 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 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.
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
