Christy Moore - Balled of James Larkin (1969)

And Tyranny trampled them in Dublin's gutter

Until Jim Larkin came along and cried

The call of Freedom and the call of Pride

And Slavery crept to its hands and knees

And Nineteen Thirteen cheered from out the utter

Degradation of their miseries.

I was at a Christy Moore concert in Derry/Derry last night. Still in top form and ably accompanies by Declan Sinnott. Go Christy!

It´s a beautifull song. I don´t understan english lenguage very well, but i think the song tales about Irish history. Irish people,s history is like the basque country´s history. These countries always had walked foward Freedom, foward Independence. Today basque people are fighting againts spanish power, because that power never won´t bring the Freedom and Democracy. FREEDOM FOR BASQUE COUNTRY. EUSKAL HERRIA ASKATU.

All really good Irish musicians are pretty damn old, some look younger (i.e. Christy and the Wolfe Tones) some...don't (the late Ronnie Drew and Derek Warfield)

Great story telling Ballard by Moore ...beyond that, the politics of it all is too confusing for me ... look to Christ for the answers you seek.

Connolly would support giving workers money to rich bankers. How dare you make such a stupid remark. Gilmore is a traitor and if you are with him , then so are you.

Arthur Griffith founded the IRA, not Michael Collins. he wrote a pamphlet called "The Sinn Fein Policy" in 1906. After the shutting down of the United Irishman publication by the British, He then launched a new paper called " Sinn Fein". In 1908 he adopted that name as the name of his party. Griffith was a great man, He said "England built a wall of paper, inside of which she wrote what she wished us to think of the world; on the outside, what she desired the world to think of us"

Deaghlan Finn- The IRA didn't exist until the 1970's? What are you smoking? This is not a history class so I won't educate you but I suggest you run along and read some history.

I haven't seen this video before. I haven't seen him perform this song before. It is brilliant!

Larkin had no connection to the IRA, nor did Connolly. and given that the ira did not come about until the 1970s they would find it hard to join. It is also a strange thing that a lot of leaders of the irish struggle were in fact not even catholic, some were even English so really it shows that the question is one of right and not of religion or Irish v English. as is often given as a reason.
