Put On Your Sword
by

Oh hear the wind rushed mountain air
And see within the cast
of clouds that hide the brave lads there,
who mourn sweet Erin's past...

A stone to sharpen sword, my love
Put on your dirk tonight
Tis my heart weeps as you go nigh
But Erin stands to fight

The fog swirls thick as moonlight
shows eery through the scene
Of Erin's lads all circled round.
They wear their father's green.

A stone to sharpen sword, my love
Put on your dirk tonight
Tis my heart weeps as you go nigh
But Erin stands to fight

Oh hear the drum beat soft and lo
Oh hear the whistles' dirg
Oh hear the pipes play soft and moan
The cry of Erin's purge

A stone to sharpen sword, my love
Put on your dirk tonight
Tis my heart weeps as you go nigh
But Erin stands to fight

To pierce the dark with sword of light
Lads reaching out their hand
Across to Death's firm grip embrace
To see faire Erin stands.

A stone to sharpen sword, my love
Put on your dirk tonight
Tis my heart weeps as you go nigh
But Erin stands to fight

Tis Erin's blood we buried here
Her colors we have hid
Stand fast my lad, my love, my life
As Erin's cries you bid

A stone to sharpen sword, my love
Put on your dirk tonight
Tis my heart weeps as you go nigh
But Erin stands to fight
