[00:00.00]The Minstrel Boy - The Clancy Brothers
[00:05.38]The Minstrel Boy to the war is gone
[00:09.67]In the ranks of death you will find him
[00:14.49]His father's sword he has girded on
[00:18.80]And his wild harp slung behind him
[00:23.74]Land of song said the warrior bard
[00:28.06]Though all the world betrays thee
[00:32.12]One sword at least thy rights shall guard
[00:36.65]One faithful harp shall praise thee
[00:50.16]The Minstrel fell
[00:52.03]But the foreman's chain
[00:54.32]Could not bring that proud soul under
[00:59.05]The harp he loved never spoke again
[01:03.21]For he tore it's chords asunder
[01:07.90]And said no chains shall sully thee
[01:12.47]Though soul of love and bravery
[01:16.60]Thy songs were made for the pure and free
[01:21.08]They shall never sound in slavery
