dropkick murphys - the hardest mile lyrics
i’m heading for a life in the land of the free
sending every penny home to the family
off to find fortunes that can’t be bought
now paddy’s struck down from a single shot
paddy’s struck down from a single shot!
they lured the men away they promised wealth and riches
a thousand miles from home lying steel and digging ditches
the work would be a challenge nary a soul could stand the trial
these wayfaring boys built the railways toughest mile
fifty-seven men on the hardest mile!
fifty-seven men on the hardest mile
murdered for their troubles, left to die
immigrant sons from donegal, tyrone & derry
their numbers were few but they did the job of many
eight weeks went by and the path was clear
fifty-seven men had all disappeared
not a mention of their name no stone was ever turned
it would be so many years before the truth was ever learned
fifty-seven men on the hardest mile
murdered for their troubles, left to die
immigrant sons from donegal, tyrone & derry
their numbers were few but they did the job of many
now ghosts dance a jig on an unmarked grave
a slug full of lead was the price they were paid
vigilante justice, prejudice and pride
no one in this valley will be seen again alive
fifty-seven men on the hardest mile
murdered for their troubles, left to die
immigrant sons from donegal, tyrone & derry
their numbers were few but they did the job of many
fifty-seven men on the hardest mile
murdered for their troubles, left to die
immigrant sons from donegal, tyrone & derry
their numbers were few but they did the job of many
