Lyrics

The minstrel boy to the war is gone
 In the ranks of death you'll find him
 His father's sword he hath girded on
 And his wild harp slung behind him
 "Land of Song" cried the warrior bard
 "Tho' 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 lov'd ne'er spoke again
 For he tore its chords asunder
 And said, "No chains shall sully thee
 Thou soul of love and brav'ry
 Thy songs were made for the pure and free
 They shall never sound in slavery"
 
 The minstrel boy to the war is gone
 In the ranks of death you'll find him
 His father's sword he hath girded on
 And his wild harp slung behind him
 "Land of Song" cried the warrior bard
 "Tho' 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 lov'd ne'er spoke again
 For he tore its chords asunder
 And said, "No chains shall sully thee
 Thou soul of love and brav'ry
 Thy songs were made for the pure and free
 They shall never sound in slavery"
