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