Connelly Was There - Ray McAreavey/Johnny Beggan[00:00:00]
Oh there is a page in history[00:00:02]
When the workers first fought back[00:00:05]
When the might of exploitation[00:00:07]
At last began to crack[00:00:10]
In farm and field and factory[00:00:12]
In workshop mine and rail[00:00:14]
A flame was lit[00:00:17]
A beacon bright[00:00:18]
That flame is burning still[00:00:19]
F**k Connolly was there[00:00:21]
Connolly was there[00:00:24]
Brave brave and daunted James[00:00:26]
Connolly was there[00:00:28]
William Martin Murphy[00:00:32]
And his Dublin Millionaires[00:00:33]
Tried bribary and corruption[00:00:36]
Hypocracy and prayers[00:00:38]
To spite the Transport Union[00:00:40]
Their scats they did enlist[00:00:42]
But all their graft was shattered[00:00:44]
By a scarlet iron fist[00:00:46]
And Connolly was there[00:00:49]
Connolly was there[00:00:51]
Brave brave and daunted James[00:00:53]
Connolly was there[00:00:56]
When the bosses tried to sweat the lads[00:00:58]
Way down on Glasgow's Clyde[00:01:01]
A voice like roaring thunder[00:01:03]
Soon shook them in their stride[00:01:05]
In Liverpool and Belfast[00:01:07]
When the worker lives in Hell[00:01:09]
Well Connolly rose and gave them hope[00:01:11]
The truth to you I tell[00:01:13]
And Connolly was there[00:01:16]
Connolly was there[00:01:18]
Brave brave and daunted James[00:01:20]
Connolly was there[00:01:22]
Oh Irishmen the day will come[00:01:25]
When workers one and all[00:01:27]
Will rise up from their bended knees[00:01:30]
And rally to the call[00:01:32]
Throw out the bosses tyranny[00:01:34]
And shout from shore to shore[00:01:36]
For a working man's Republic[00:01:38]
And for freedom evermore[00:01:40]
For Connolly will be there[00:01:42]
Connolly will be there[00:01:45]
Brave brave and daunted James[00:01:47]
Connolly will be there[00:01:49]
