V1
Born in Kerry in 1910
To toil my father’s land
Fell in love with a gipsy girl
From the bold Maguire clan
Our love was to be forbidden
Others could not know
Forced to meet in secret
Around the hillsides of Dunloe
Chorus
I’m in love with Molly Maguire
She’s in love with me
Red haired blue eyed Molly Maguire
From a town they call Tralee
I’m in love with Molly Maguire
The fairest ever seen
I’m her King for evermore
She’s my Gipsy Queen
V2
Secrets never lay unsaid
We were made to face our shame
Kinfolk said they’d see us dead
We’d disgraced our family names
One last loving meeting
By Killarney’s lakes, high tide
One last loving kiss
Until we meet on the other side
Chorus
I’m in love with Molly Maguire
She’s in love with me
Red haired blue eyed Molly Maguire
From a town they call Tralee
I’m in love with Molly Maguire
The fairest ever seen
I’m her King for evermore
She’s my Gipsy Queen
I’ll be with her evermore
My beautiful Gipsy Queen
