Вступление
[Intro]
When the wind blows cold at night
The breaker’s melancholy
If you stand in the dark with your ear 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 murmer low from the mine below
Is the ghost of Molly Maguire
[Verse 1]
I'll tell ya boys Mickey Doyle is my name
I come from Carbon County
And I shot the boss of the Lansford Mine
My soul is up for bounty
And I will die with my head held high
I fought for the men below
The men who work and fight and die
Down in a black hell hole.
[Verse 2]
I'll tell ya boys Edward Kelly is my name
And I'm hanging high in the morning
For I shot Jack Jones for skinning my bones
I curse the sound of mourning
And I will die with my head held high
I fought for the men below
The men who work and fight and die
Down in a black hell hole.
[Verse 3]
I'll tell ya me 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 head held high
I fought for the men below
The men who work and fight and die
Down in a black hell hole.
[Chorus]
When the wind blows cold at night
The breaker’s melancholy
If you stand in the dark with your ear 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 murmer low from the mine below
Is the ghost of Molly Maguire
************************************Chorus
When the wind blows cold at night
The breaker’s melancholy
If you stand in the dark with your ear 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 murmer low from the mine below
Is the ghost of Molly Maguire
This song goes by many names and comes in many versions - This is not, however, the Dubliners song, as it is
a completely different song. This is written originally by Chuck and Bob Rogers of the Irish Balladeers.
I find the best version of this song is the one titled "Ghost of the Molly Maguires" performed by
Hair of the Dog @ the Parting Glass.
