Flogging Molly nacieron en una de las muchas tabernas de los nietos de los emigrantes irlandeses de principios del siglo pasado que huyeron de la Gran Hambruna que mató a un millón de personas e hizo emigrar a otro millón y medio. Muy influenciados por la música de sus antepasados, comenzaron a tocar en la taberna de Molly Malones, en Los Angeles, dotando al folk irlandés de bandas como The Dubliners de otro tipo de música, más parecido a The Pogues.

GDGC Death valley queen where have you been GEm Since they crowned you in glory GD Filled your head with dreams GDG But it still goes to show in every desert CGDG There's a rose that's blooming for all to be seen DG I remember you well from that town CGEm You did dwell with the face of an angel GD In a dump hot as hell GD When I asked for a kiss GC You kindly dismissed GDG So i lead my poor heart to the slaughter DGCD Tell me dear what did you fear GCD I'd do you no wrong though no stranger to sin GCGC So death valley queen go marry your king GDG Or an old maid you'll end up for certain
[Verse 2] (same as verse 1)
Off I did set on my trail of regret Where I thought of you now in your castle and crown So I found me a whore with a face just like yours After several gallons of porter When I awoke, she had scarpered I was broke Laying cold in the bed with a whale for a head So death valley queen go marry your king Or an old maid you'll end up for certain
[Chorus]
DGCGD Then the ball dropped why everything fell by the way DGCD As your teardrops were falling I forgot to say GDG That I have always loved you GCG Yeah I have always loved you GDGC Yeah I G Yeah I C I have always loved you
[Verse 3] (same as verse 1)
When I returned downtrodden and burned There were billy goats grazing Where once you'd be found So I hung out to dry On this limb for a lie Take me back for I'm cursed on the mainland Tell me dear what did you fear I'd do you no wrong though no stranger to sin So death valley queen go marry your king Or an old maid you'll end up for certain I said death valley queen go marry your king And a-roving I'll end up for certain
