G#m
Close your eyes and come with me back to 1984
G#m
We'll take a walk down Henry Street to Dunnes department store
C#m G#m C#m G#m
The supermarket is busy and the registers make a din
G#m B D#m D#
The groceries go rolling out and the cash comes rolling in
G#m
Mary Manning is at the checkout and she's trying to keep warm
G#m
When a customer comes up to her with a basket on her arm
G#m C#m G#m C#m
The contents of the basket Mary's future was to shape
G#m B D#m D#
For the label clearly stated "Produce of the Cape"
G#m
“I can't check out your oranges missus now won’t you bring them back
G#m
For they come from South Africa where white oppresses black
G#m C#m G#m C#m
I'd have it on my conscience and I couldn't sleep at night
G#m B D#m D#
If I helped support a system that denies black people's rights”
G#m
Our union says don't handle them it's the least that we can do
G#m
We fought oppression here for centuries we'll help them fight it too
G#m C#m G#m C#m
The managers descended in an avalanche of suits
G#m B D#m D#
And Mary was suspended 'cause she wouldn't touch the fruits
G#m D#m G#m
Dunnes Stores, Dunnes Stores, Dunnes Stores
B D#m G#m G#m B D#m G#m
In St. Bernard better value beats them all
G#m
Her friends were all behind her and the union gave support
G#m
They called a strike and their pickets brought all Dunnes stores to a halt
G#m C#m G#m C#m
No-one was going to tell the boss, what he bought or sold
G#m B D#m D#
These women are only workers, they must do as they are told
G#m
Isn't that just typical of Apartheid’s cruel law
G#m
It's not just in South Africa, the rich trampling the poor
G#m C#m G#m C#m
He wouldn't have a boycott, he couldn't give a Tinker's curse
G#m B D#m D#
It doesn't matter how he fills the shelves so long as he lines his purse
(CHORUS)
G#m
The messages came rolling from all around the world
G#m
For such concern and sacrifice, and for courage brave and bold
G#m C#m G#m C#m
When fourteen months were over ten women and a man
G#m B D#m D#
Had helped to raise black consciousness all around the land
G#m
Clery's in O'Connell Street wouldn't sell South African shoes
G#m
Bestman sent all their clothes back, Roche's stores their booze
G#m C#m G#m C#m
Until all South Africa goods were taken off the shelves in Dunnes
G#m B D#m D#
Mary Manning was down in Henry Street, sticking to her guns
(CHORUS)
Dunnes stores in St. Bernard better value beats them all.
