James Larkin - The Dubliners[00:00:00]

In dubling city in nineteen thirteen[00:00:08]

The boss was rich and the poor were slaves[00:00:11]

The women working and children starving[00:00:14]

Then on came larking like a mighty wave[00:00:17]

The workers cringed when the boss man thundered[00:00:20]

Seventy hours was his weekly chore[00:00:23]

He asked for little and less was granted[00:00:26]

Lest given little then he'd ask for more[00:00:29]

In the month of august the boss man told us[00:00:33]

No union man for him could work[00:00:36]

We stood by larking and told the boss man[00:00:39]

We'd fight or die but we wouldn't shirk[00:00:42]

Eight months we fought and eight months we starved[00:00:45]

We stood by larking through thick and thing[00:00:48]

But foodless homes and the crying of children[00:00:51]

It broke our hearts we just couldn't win[00:00:54]

Then larking left us we seemed defeated[00:00:58]

The night was black for the working man[00:01:01]

But on came connolly with new hope and counsel[00:01:04]

His motto was that we'd rise again[00:01:07]

In nineteen sixteen in dublin city[00:01:10]

The english soldiers they burnt our town[00:01:13]

The shelled our buildings and shot our leaders[00:01:16]

The harp was buried neath the bloody crown[00:01:19]

They shot mcdermott and pearse and plunkett[00:01:23]

They shot mcdonagh and clarke the brave[00:01:26]

From bleak kilmainham they took ceannt's body[00:01:29]

To arbour hill and a quicklime grave[00:01:32]

But last of all of the seven heroes[00:01:35]

I sing the praise of james connolly[00:01:37]

The voice of justice the voice of freedom[00:01:40]

He gave his life that man might be free[00:01:43]
