dave burns - the halfpenny strike lyrics

have i told you boys of 1910
when the ha’penny strike began
we stormed the cops on pandy square
and how the bluecoats ran!
we chased them up to llwynypia
and how the bluecoats ran!
you should have seen the old square clear
when the ha’penny strike began

“not a ha’penny more,” the owners said
when the ha’penny strike began
we spat on our hands and swore, then
and how the bluecoats ran!
old mabyn was asleep in bed
when thosе big coppers ran
by brave of heart shown [?] wе were led
when the ha’penny strike began
” i’ll send in troops!” churchill cried
that cowardly, bl++dy man
and by their guns, one of us died
when the ha’penny strike began
we fought them in dunraven street
we fought them man+to+man
i tell you boys, we had them beat
when the ha’penny strike began

but the sun was strong
and the summer long
and the kids had nothing to eat
so we went back in the end, boys
’cause the hunger had us beat
when we needed bread for the kids, boys
the owners knew they’d won
and we didn’t have the strength we had
when the ha’penny strike began

so i’ll tell you boys of 1910
when the ha’penny strike began
we stormed the cops on pandy square
and how the bluecoats ran!
we chased them up to llwynypia
and how the bluecoats ran!
you should have seen the old square clear
when the ha’penny strike began
