At The Parting Glass

Ghost Of The Molly Maguires

by Hair of the Dog

on At The Parting Glass (2001)

The wind blows cold at night, the brave are melancholy
If you stand in the dark with your ear to the wind, you'll hear the sound of Molly
Deep in the dark of that old mine shaft, you smell the smoke and fire. And the murmur low in the mine below sing ghost of Molly Maguire
I'll tell ya boys Mickey Doyle is my name
I come from Carbon County
I shot the boss of the Langsford Mine
My soul is up for bounty
And I will die with my head held high
I fought for the men below
Those men who work and fight and die
Down in that black hell hole

And I'll tell ya boys Michael Donaghan's my name
I'm hanging in the morning
And I shot Jack Jones for skinning my bones.?????
And I will die with my held held high
I fought for the men below
Those men who work and fight and die
Down in the black hell hole

And I'll tell ya boys Alex Campbell is my name
No pistol did I fire
And I will fall from the gallows wall
For being a Molly Maguire
Yes, I will die with my held held high
I fought for the men below
Those men who work and fight and die
Down in that black hell hole
