Soliders Song Lyrics

VERSE 1

We'll sing a song, a soldier's song

With cheering, rousing chorus

As round our blazing fires we throng,

The starry heavens o'er us;

Impatient for the coming fight,

And as we wait the morning's light

Here in the silence of the night

We'll chant a soldiers song.

REFRAIN

Soldiers are we,

Whose lives are pladged to Ireland

Some have come from a land beyond

the wave

Sworn to be free,

No more or ancient sireland

Shall shelter the despot or the slave;

Tonight we man the bearna baoghal

In Erin's cause, come woe or weal;

'Mid cannon's roar and rifles peal

We'll chant a soldier's song

VERSE 2

In valley green or towering crag

Our farthers fought before us,

And conqured 'neath the same old flag

That's proudly floating o'er us,

We're childern of a fighting race

That never yet has known disgrace,

And as we march the foe to face,

We'll chant a soldier's song

CHORUS

VERSE 3

Sons of Gael! Men of the Pale!

The long watched day is breaking:

The serried ranks of innisfail

Shall set the tyrant quaking,

Our camp fires now are burning low;

See in the east a silv'ry glow,

Out yonder waits a Saxon foe,

So chant a soldier's song.
