| I said to me da, I said to me da, I said to me da
|
| I’m not fit for soldier
|
| I said to me da, I said to me da, I said to me da
|
| I’m not fit for soldier
|
| I said to me da, I said to me da, I said to me da
|
| I’m not fit for soldier
|
| I said to me da, I said to me da, I said to me da

| I’m not fit for soldier
|
| For the king he say, the king say
|
| For now you fight or I’ll take your land away
|
| For the king he say, the king say
|
| For now you fight or I’ll take your land away
|
| So over the seas, over the seas
|
| To kill a man that I have never seen
|
| Over the seas…
|
| I won’t die for England
|
| Not for England
|
| I said to me ma, said to me ma, said to me ma
|
| I sail away now
|
| I said to me ma, said to me ma, said to me ma
|
| I sail away now
|
| Over the seas, over the seas
|
| Far away from my Ireland
|
| Over the seas, over the seas
|
| Far and away from miles of green
|
| For the king he say, the king say
|
| For now you fight or I’ll take your children
|
| For the king he say, the king say
|
| For now you fight or I’ll take your children
|
| So they send me away, send me away
|
| To kill a man that I have never seen
|
| They send me away, send me away…
|
| I won’t die for England
|
| Not for England
|
| Far away from my homeland
|
| Many miles, many miles I would roam
|
| Far from my home
|
| Far from my home…
|
| Far and away…
|
| I won’t die for England
|
| Not for England |
