The Minstrel Boy Lyrics Home : Guide to Ireland : Irish Music : The Minstrel Boy Lyrics 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, they rights shall guard One faithful harp shall praise thee!

Thy songs were made for the pure and free, They shall never sound in slavery!
