Minstrel Boy Lyrics


The minstrel boy to the war has 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;"Land of Song!" cried the warrior bard,
(Should) "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!

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Donegal X-Press, the locomotive Baltimore band that has made their name with punked-up jigs and reels that snagged them CD of the year with the Irish Voice back in 2001, has cast their eye on this side of the Atlantic for inspiration.
The music on their new disc, the triumphant Stand Alone, generates the same greasy heat that you’d find on a griddle diner located somewhere on Route 66. More in line with the Black Crowes than the Black Velvet Band, the tunes marinade in a Jack Daniels sauce that yields smoke wafting out of your speakers with each listen.
