the minstrel boy lyrics
[verse 1]
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

[verse 2]
“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”

[verse 3]
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

[verse 4]
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
