GUEST,Jimmy Lyr Req: Liberty Boy (Edward Nevin) (26) RE: Another Liberty boy song 14 Oct 14


The paintwork is peeling, there's damp on the ceiling
The rats they are squealing, this tenements freezing
Your da's not been paid, the strike calls been made
Sleep now my Liberty boy, sleep now my Liberty boy

Chorus

Oh your Da's on the picket line fighting for better time
Larkins been taken the strikes nearly breaking

"................

Sadly all I remember, I know it recalls the great strike of 1930 in Dublin, of which Philip Larkin fought for better working conditions.
