Minstrel Boy (Film Version)

The Minstrel Boy- to the war has gone 　　
in the rank of death- you'll- find him 　　
His father's sword- he has girded on 　　
and his wild harp slung- be-hind 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 forman's chain 　　
could not bring his proud- sail- under 　　
The Harp he loved- never spoke again 　　
for he tore it's chords- a-sunder 　　
And said "No chains shall- sully thee, 　　
Thou soul of love and bravery. 　　
Thy songs were made for the pure and the free, 　　
They- shall never sound- in- slavery
