The Minstrel Boy |
The minstrel boy to the war has gone |
In the ranks of death you’ll find him; |
His father’s sword he has girded on |
And his wild harp slung behind him; |
«Land of Song!» |
said the warrior bard |
«Though all the world betrays thee |
One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard |
One faithful harp shall praise thee!» |
The Minstrel fell! |
But the foeman’s chains |
Could not bring that proud soul under; |
The harp he loved ne’er spoke again |
For he tore its chords asunder; |
He said «No chains shall sully thee |
Thou soul of love and bravery! |
Your songs were made for the pure and free |
They shall never sound in slavery! |
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh |
(The minstrel boy to the war has gone) |
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh |
(the songs and sentiments are soldiering on) |
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh |
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh |
The minstrel boy to the war has gone |
The minstrel boy to the war has gone |
The minstrel boy to the war has gone |
