[00:00.183]You working men of England one moment now attend
[00:05.503]While I unfold the treatment of the poor upon this land
[00:11.015]For nowadays the factory lords have brought the labour low
[00:15.804]And daily are contriving plans to prove our overthrow
[00:21.910]So arouse! You sons of freedom! The world seems upside down
[00:29.883]They scorn the poor man as a thief in country and in town
[00:38.406]
[00:38.937]There's different parts in Ireland, it's true what I do state
[00:44.782]There's hundreds more are starving for they can't get food to eat
[00:49.780]And if they go unto the rich to ask them for relief
[00:54.306]They bang their door all in their face as if they were a thief
[01:00.691]So arouse! You sons of freedom! The world seems upside down
[01:08.672]They scorn the poor man as a thief in country and in town
[01:17.266]
[01:17.269]Alas how altered are the times, rich men despise the poor
[01:23.098]And pay them off without remorse, quite scornful at their door
[01:28.671]And if a man is out of work his Parish pay is small
[01:33.741]It's enough to starve himself and wife, his children and all
[01:39.328]So arouse! You sons of freedom! The world seems upside down
[01:46.769]They scorn the poor man as a thief in country and in town
[01:55.256]
[01:55.792]So to conclude and finish these few verses I have made
[02:01.364]I hope to see before it's long men for their labour paid
[02:07.469]Then we'll rejoice with heart and voice and banish all our woes
[02:12.525]But before we do old England must pay us what she owes
[02:18.631]So arouse! You sons of freedom! The world seems upside down
[02:26.593]They scorn the poor man as a thief in country and in town
[02:34.842]So arouse! You sons of freedom! The world seems upside down
[02:44.397]They scorn the poor man as a thief in country and in town
