Lyrics

The minstrel boy to the war has gone
In the ranks of death you will find him
His father's sword he has girded on
And his wild harp slung behind him
"Land of song!" cried 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 sword
Couldn't bring that proud soul under
The harp he loved never spoke again
For he tore its chords asunder
He said, "No chain shall sully thee
No strength shall taint your bravery
My songs remain for the young and free
They shall never sound in slavery"
The minstrel boy to the war has gone
In the ranks of death you will find him
His father's sword he has girded on
And his wild harp slung behind him
He said, "No chain shall sully thee
No strength shall taint your bravery
My songs remain for the young and free
They shall never sound in slavery"
