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.

DG Sail away where no ball and chain DA Can keep us from the roarin' waves DGAD Together undivided but forever we'll be free DG So sail away aboard our rig DA The moon is full and so are we DG We're seven drunken pirates AD We're the seven deadly sins

D So the years rolled by and several died A And left us somewhat reelin' D Johnny strummed his Tommy gun A Left blastin' through the ceiling D So what became of rebels
Who sang for you and me G Grapplin' with their demons AD In the search for liberty
D Sufferers who suffer all A Can swim upon the desert D Where avarice has ravaged all A In spite of good intentions D Don't fill your mouth with gluttony
For pride will surely swell GAD But nothing's unforgiven in the four corners of hell
(Chorus)
D Envy and its evil twin A Its crept in bed with slander D Idiots they gave advice A But sloth it gave no answer D Anger kills the human soul
With bitter tales of lust G While Pavlov's Dogs keep chewin' AD On the legs they never trust
(Chorus)
AmDAmE/EmAm
FC But it's the only life we'll know EmC Blagards to the bone
So don't wreck yourself G Take an honest grip FCD For there's more tales beyond the shore
Ah the years rolled by and several died
And left us somewhat reelin'
In and out came crawlin' out
And spewed upon the ceiling
So what became of rebels
That sang for you and me DG Grapplin' with their demons AD In the search for liberty
