《James Larkin》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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