A Soldier's Song - Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]
I went away to fight a war[00:00:08]
That small nations might be free[00:00:11]
Got a soldiers guns and uniform to fight the enemy[00:00:15]
I was trained to shoot my fellow before he got to me[00:00:23]
And I danced with death in the mud and wept[00:00:31]
And prayed my home to see [00:00:35]
So come over to me darling girl[00:00:38]
Come here me Molly dear [00:00:43]
You are as welcome as the flowers[00:00:46]
In may you're welcome here to me [00:00:50]
No more I'll fire the musket shot[00:00:55]
Or hear the cannon roar[00:00:58]
I've done my time now you'll be mine[00:01:02]
I'm yours for ever more [00:01:06]
While in the trenches there[00:01:10]
I thought who starts these bloody wars[00:01:13]
And thought of these great Irishmen[00:01:18]
Who died on these strange shores[00:01:22]
Then a bomb did burst to the air it trust[00:01:26]
Some shrapnel fire and blood[00:01:30]
I escaped it then shot back at them[00:01:33]
And lay back in the mud [00:01:38]
So come over to me darling girl[00:01:41]
Come here me Molly dear [00:01:45]
You are as welcome as the flowers[00:01:49]
In may you're welcome here to me [00:01:52]
No more I'll fire the musket shot[00:01:57]
Or hear the cannon roar[00:02:01]
I've done my time now you'll be mine[00:02:05]
I'm yours for ever more [00:02:09]
While I was off in foreign lands [00:02:21]
Fighting other peoples' wars[00:02:24]
Some gallant men were fighting[00:02:28]
Here to free their native shore[00:02:32]
You shot our leaders of 16[00:02:36]
Saw our city sacked and burned[00:02:40]
Then you sent us in the Black[00:02:44]
And Tans to greet our home return [00:02:47]
So come over to me darling girl[00:02:51]
Come here me Molly dear [00:02:56]
You are as welcome as the flowers[00:02:59]
In may you're welcome here to me [00:03:03]
No more I'll fire the musket shot[00:03:08]
Or hear the cannon roar[00:03:11]
I've done my time now you'll be mine[00:03:15]
I'm yours for ever more [00:03:19]
I don't need your heroes welcome[00:03:23]
I don't want your bugle call[00:03:27]
No brass band no pipes and drums [00:03:31]
No medal badge or star[00:03:35]
But give me what you promised me[00:03:39]
When first I went to war[00:03:43]
That's freedom for old Ireland[00:03:47]
And I'll go to fight no more [00:03:51]
So come over to me darling girl[00:03:54]
Come here me Molly dear [00:03:59]
You are as welcome as the flowers[00:04:02]
In may you're welcome here to me [00:04:05]
No more I'll fire the musket shot[00:04:10]
Or hear the cannon roar[00:04:14]
I've done my time now you'll be mine[00:04:18]
I'm yours for ever more[00:04:22]
