60 Irish Rebel Songs - The Finest Irish Republican Collection (1916 Easter Rising Edition)
The Soldier's Song
We'll sing a song, a sol-dier's song
With cheer-ing rous-ing cho-rus
As round our blaz-ing fires we throng
The star-ry hea-vens o'er us
Im-pa-tient for the coming fight
And as we wait the morning's light
Here in the silence of the night
We'll chant a sol-dier's song
Soldiers are we Whose lives are pledged to Ireland
Some have come From a land be-yond the wave
Sworn to be free No more our ancient sire land
Shall shel-ter the des-pot or the slave
To-night we man the bear-na baoil
In E-rin's cause, come woe or weal
'Mid can-non's roar and rifles' peal
We'll chant a sol-dier's song
In valley green, on tower-ing crag
Our fa-thers fought be-fore us
And con-quered 'neath the same old flag
That's proudly floating o'er us
We're children of a fight-ing race
That ne-ver yet has known disgrace
And as we march, the foe to face
We'll chant a sol-dier's song
Soldiers are we Whose lives are pledged to Ireland
Some have come From a land be-yond the wave
Sworn to be free No more our ancient sire land
Shall shel-ter the des-pot or the slave
To-night we man the bear-na baoil
In E-rin's cause, come woe or weal
'Mid can-non's roar and rifles' peal
We'll chant a sol-dier's song
With cheer-ing rous-ing cho-rus
As round our blaz-ing fires we throng
The star-ry hea-vens o'er us
Im-pa-tient for the coming fight
And as we wait the morning's light
Here in the silence of the night
We'll chant a sol-dier's song
Soldiers are we Whose lives are pledged to Ireland
Some have come From a land be-yond the wave
Sworn to be free No more our ancient sire land
Shall shel-ter the des-pot or the slave
To-night we man the bear-na baoil
In E-rin's cause, come woe or weal
'Mid can-non's roar and rifles' peal
We'll chant a sol-dier's song
In valley green, on tower-ing crag
Our fa-thers fought be-fore us
And con-quered 'neath the same old flag
That's proudly floating o'er us
We're children of a fight-ing race
That ne-ver yet has known disgrace
And as we march, the foe to face
We'll chant a sol-dier's song
Soldiers are we Whose lives are pledged to Ireland
Some have come From a land be-yond the wave
Sworn to be free No more our ancient sire land
Shall shel-ter the des-pot or the slave
To-night we man the bear-na baoil
In E-rin's cause, come woe or weal
'Mid can-non's roar and rifles' peal
We'll chant a sol-dier's song
