The Minstrel Boy - Liam Clancy

The minstrel boy to the war is 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 chain

Could not bring that proud soul under;

The harp he loved never spoke again

For he tore its 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 "
