The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem - The First Hurrah!

Carrickfergus

How dare you sit in judgment
Of working girls on the game?
You're just as guilty, your honor
Hiding facts behind your fame
Dishing out a prison term
For what should be your right
We want the truth
The whole truth and nothing but the truth
We want the truth
The whole truth and nothing but the truth
We want the truth
Pass the buck with a sentence
Learned upholder of decency
Dishonored your bench and all who sit on it
Paid young girls frequently
Dishing out a prison term
For what should be their right
We want the truth
The whole truth and nothing but the truth
We want the truth
The whole truth and nothing but the truth
We want the truth
With your friends in high places
Hypocrite, son of a bitch
The only reason you're still here
Is 'coz you're filthy rich
Dishing out a prison term
For what should be their right
We want the truth
The whole truth and nothing but the truth
We want the truth
The whole truth and nothing but the truth
We want the truth
The whole truth and nothing but the truth
We want the truth
The whole truth and nothing but the truth
We want the truth
