The Peelers Sons Of Molly Lyrics

When the wind blows wild at night
Past the breaker 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

Well, I'll tell ya boys Mickey Doyle is my name
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
Now I curse the sound of mourning
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 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
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

When the wind blows wild at night
Past the breaker 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
