unholy modal rounders - the minstrel boy lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
this is a song written in 1809

[verse 1]
the minstrel boy to the war has gone
in the ranks of death, you’ll find him
his father’s sword, he has girded on
and his wild harp swings beside him

[verse 2]
“land of song,” cried the warrior bard
“though all the earth betray thee
one sword, at least, thy door shall guard
one minstrel harp shall praise thee”

[verse 3]
the minstrel fell, but the foeman’s chain
couldn’t hold his proud soul under
the harp he loved never sang again
he tore its strings asunder

[verse 4]
and said, “no chains shall sully thee
thy soul of love and bravery
thy songs were made for the proud and free
and you’ll never sound in slavery”
