For all 9th graders in PA, it's a state standard to do a report on some important event or person that is in some way related to Pennsylvania. I have to do a report on the Molly Maguires and I only know who they are because of this song.

How do you keep finding these old Luke Kelly songs?
However you do, keep them coming. It's almost a sin not to share to the world the beautiful talent of Luke Kelly.
