Flogging Molly é uma banda estadunidense de punk celta formada em Los Angeles, Califórnia, no ano de 1997.
A banda nasceu em uma das muitas tabernas de netos de imigrantes irlandeses do começo do século passado. Muito influenciados por seus antepassados, começaram a tocar na taberna de Molly Malones, em Los Angeles.
O primeiro disco da banda, "Alive Behind the Green Door", foi gravado ao vivo, na taberna.
Em 2002, a banda lança "Drunken Lullabies" que incluía um de seus maiores sucessos, a canção de mesmo nome.

[Chorus] Bb All to hell we must sail For the shores of sweet Barbados Gm Where the sugar cane grows taller Than the god we once believed in Bb Till the butcher and his crown Raped the land we used to sleep in GmF Now tommorow chimes of ghostly crimes Gm That haunt Tobacco Island
[Verse] Gm 'Twas 1659 forgotten now for sure Bb They dragged us from our homeland With the musket and their gun Gm Cromwell and his roundheads Battered all we know Bb Shackled hopes of freedom We're now but stolen goods F Darken the horizon Blackened from the sun Am This rotten cage of Bridgetown C Is where I now belong
[Chorus] Bb All to hell we must sail For the shores of sweet Barbados Gm Where the sugar cane grows taller Than the god we once believed in Bb Till the butcher and his crown Raped the land we used to sleep in GmF Now tommorow chimes of ghostly crimes Gm That haunt Tobacco Island
[Verse] Gm Red leg down a peg Blistered burns the soul Bb The floggings they're a plenty But reasons there are none Gm Our backs belong to landlords Where branded is there name Bb Paid for with ten shillings Cheap labor never breaks F The silver moon is shinin' Cools the copper blood Am Where the livin' meet the dead C And together dance as one
[Chorus] Bb All to hell we must sail For the shores of sweet Barbados Gm Where the sugar cane grows taller Than the god we once believed in Bb Till the butcher and his crown Raped the land we used to sleep in GmF Now tommorow chimes of ghostly crimes Gm That haunt Tobacco Island
[Verse] GmBbGmBb Ag-ony, will you cleanse this misery? BbGm For it's never again i'll breathe F The air of home BbGm From this sandy edge BbGm The rolling sea breaks my revenge BbGm With each whisper a thousand waves F I hear roar I'm coming home
[Pre-Chorus] F Dark is the horizon Blackened by the sun Am This rotten cage of Bridgetown C Is where I now belong
[Chorus] Bb All to hell we must sail For the shores of sweet Barbados Gm Where the sugar cane grows taller Than the god we once believed in Bb Till the butcher and his crown Raped the land we used to sleep in GmF Now tommorow chimes of ghostly crimes Gm That haunt Tobacco Island
