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