Yesterday's Men - Celtic Thunder[00:00:00]

Twas joey the weasel that gave us the wire[00:00:07]

They were closing our factory down[00:00:11]

Though we didn't believe him and we called him a liar[00:00:14]

The redundancy letters came round[00:00:18]

As we read them in silence[00:00:22]

I choked back a tear[00:00:24]

It was hard to believe after twenty-odd years[00:00:26]

Farewell my companions my friends and my workmates[00:00:32]

Farewell to the paydays the pints and the craic[00:00:35]

Oh we gave them our best years now[00:00:39]

They've paid us back[00:00:41]

By making us yesterday's men[00:00:43]

Sure as hell[00:00:45]

By making us yesterday's men[00:00:47]

So we said our goodbyes by the factory gates[00:00:52]

One cold friday evening last year[00:00:56]

And I saw it all there in the eyes of ma mates[00:01:00]

The anger the sadness the fear[00:01:04]

Like our fathers before us we worked there with pride[00:01:07]

Now we fought back the bitterness burning inside[00:01:11]

Farewell my companions my friends and my workmates[00:01:17]

Farewell to the paydays the pints and the craic[00:01:21]

Oh we gave them our best years now they've paid us back[00:01:25]

By making us yesterday's men[00:01:28]

Sure as hell[00:01:31]

By making us yesterday's men[00:01:32]

Ah now jimmy said she[00:01:38]

Give the kids a few bob[00:01:40]

After all sure it is friday night[00:01:41]

But how could I tell her I was out of a job[00:01:45]

From now on things were going to be tight[00:01:49]

How well I remember it cut like a knife[00:01:53]

I was never a day on the dole in my life[00:01:57]

Farewell my companions my friends and my workmates[00:02:03]

Farewell to the paydays the pints and the craic[00:02:06]

Oh we gave them our best years now they've paid us back[00:02:10]

By making us yesterday's men[00:02:14]

Sure as hell[00:02:16]

By making us yesterday's men[00:02:18]

The machines now are silent the workbenches bare[00:02:23]

And there's dust on the factory floor[00:02:27]

They've boarded the windows and have chained up the gates[00:02:31]

And have padlocked the factory door[00:02:35]

Now I'm on the scrap-heap and I'm thirty-nine[00:02:38]

Just one of the hundreds shot down in my prime[00:02:42]

Farewell my companions my friends and my workmates[00:02:48]

Farewell to the paydays the pints and the craic[00:02:52]

Oh we gave them our best years now they've paid us back[00:02:56]

By making us yesterday's men[00:02:59]

Sure as hell[00:03:02]

By making us yesterday's men[00:03:03]

Farewell my companions my friends and my workmates[00:03:07]

Farewell to the paydays the pints and the craic[00:03:11]

Oh we gave them our best years now they've paid us back[00:03:14]

By making us yesterday's men[00:03:18]

Sure as hell[00:03:21]

By making us yesterday's men[00:03:22]
