paddy reilly – jim larkin lyrics
tram workers of this town remember when
in nineteen thirteen things went bad again
how brave and strong we all were on that day
when larkin led us on our tireless way
{chorus:}
we sang for jim larkin
through the pain there was pride
and sweet [?] ellie by my side
from stephen’s green we walked to irish town
the summer sunshine framed her like a crown
the strike was called and sorrow racked our town
but i had cried and loved young ellie brown
for eight long months we starved but held our ground
locked out in idol h+ll but honor bound
the winter cold went through her well worn gown
as a larkin man i married ellie brown
{chorus:}
we sang for jim larkin
through the pain there was pride
and sweet [?] ellie by my side
the winter passed but spring brought no relief
for men can’t stand to watch their children’s grief
hunger stole our honor like a thief
so we drifted back to work on murphy’s brief
then larkin and his union shove away
james connolly came later in the day
ellie bore me sons who live today
in a better land we earn the larkin way
{chorus:}
we sang for jim larkin
through the pain there was pride
and sweet [?] ellie by my side
