John Mcdermott - The Minstrel Boy Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The minstrel boy to the war is gone,
  • In the ranks of death youll find him;
  • His fathers 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 foemans chain
  • Could not bring that proud soul under;
  • The harp he loved neer spoke again
  • For he tore is chords asunder;
  • And said no chains shall sully thee,
  • Thou soul of love and bravery!
  • Thy songs were made for the pure and free,
  • They shall never sound in slavery.
