 Rate The Minstrel Boy
Artist : Joe Strummer And The Mescalero
Song : The Minstrel Boy
The Minstrel Boy to the war is gone
In the
ranks of death you will find him;
His father's
sword he hath girded on,
And his wild harp
slung behind him;
"Land of Song!" said 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!"
