Lyrics
20 tired faces looking for relief
20 tired faces blackened with burnt cork
A mine boss, a bartender and a justice of the peace
You stab it with a knife, you stab it with a fork
No rent to be paid until the harvest
No rent to be paid to the unrighteous man
Traveling light, not traveling by night
May the truth of the daylight honor the plan
The return of the Molly Maguires
From Schuylkill County to the Avondale Fires
If you haven't got the temerity then you'd better turn around
The boys are back in town
No undermining tenants, no bailiffs to be paid
Always do your penance, always ply your trade
Avoid the military, keep a semblance of grace
Let bygones be bygones, except in a very glaring case
The return of the Molly Maguires
Breathless nights, and days inspired
They're not here to fuck around
The boys are back in town
The return of the Molly Maguires
From the '73 Panic to the childrens' choirs
The wheels will grind you down
But the boys are back in town
The return of the Molly Maguires
From peaceful nights to unforgettable fires
They will never let you down
And the boys are back in town
