The Old Alarm Clock (1993 Digital Remaster) - The Dubliners[00:00:01]

When first I came to London[00:00:05]

In the year of thirty nine[00:00:09]

The city looked so wonderful[00:00:11]

And the girls were so divine[00:00:12]

But the coppers got suspicious[00:00:17]

And they soon gave me the knock[00:00:19]

I was charged with being the owner[00:00:23]

Of an old alarm clock[00:00:25]

Oh next morning down by Barber street[00:00:27]

I caused no little stir[00:00:32]

The IRA were busy[00:00:34]

And the telephones did burr[00:00:36]

Said the judge "I'm going to charge you[00:00:38]

With the possession of this machine[00:00:41]

And I'm also going to charge you[00:00:44]

With the wearing of the green"[00:00:46]

Now says I to him "Your honor[00:00:50]

If you'll give me half a chance[00:00:52]

I'll show you how me small machine[00:00:55]

Can make the peelers dance[00:00:57]

It ticks away politely[00:00:59]

Till you get an awful shock[00:01:02]

And it ticks away the gelignite[00:01:03]

In me old alarm clock"[00:01:05]

Said the judge "Now listen here my man[00:01:09]

And I'll tell you of our plan[00:01:14]

For you and all your countrymen[00:01:16]

I do not give a damn[00:01:18]

The only time you'll take is mine[00:01:21]

Ten years in Dartmoor dock[00:01:23]

And you can count it by the ticking[00:01:26]

Of your old alarm clock[00:01:29]

Now this lonely Dartmoor prison[00:01:30]

Would put many in the jigs[00:01:34]

The cell it isn't pretty[00:01:37]

And it isn't very big[00:01:39]

Sure I'd long ago have left the place[00:01:42]

If I had only got[00:01:45]

Ah me couple of sticks of gelignite[00:01:48]

And me old alarm clock[00:01:52]
