The Minstrel Boy- to the war has gone |
| [01:39.960] |
in the rank of death- you'll- find him |
| [01:48.380] |
His father's sword- he has girded on |
| [01:56.030] |
and his wild harp slung- be-hind him |
| [02:05.500] |
"Land of Song" said the warrior Bard |
| [02:13.410] |
"Though all the world betrays- thee, |
| [02:22.110] |
one sword at least- thy- rights shall guard, |
| [02:29.810] |
one- faithful harp- shall- praise thee" |
| [02:55.350] |
|
| [03:26.620] |
The Minstrel fell- but the forman's chain |
| [03:34.750] |
could not bring his proud- sail- under |
| [03:43.550] |
The Harp he loved- never spoke again |
| [03:51.050] |
for he tore it's chords- a-sunder |
| [03:59.880] |
And said "No chains shall- sully thee |
| [04:08.050] |
Thou soul of love and bravery |
| [04:16.330] |
Thy songs were made for the pure and the free |
| [04:24.080] |
They- shall never sound- in- slavery |
| [04:52.400] |
