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 soldier's song.

Chorus:

Soldiers are we
Whose lives are pledged to ireland;
Some have come
From a land beyond the wave.
Sworn to be free
No more our ancient sire land
Shall shelter the despot or the slave.
Tonight we man the gap of danger
In erin's cause come woe or weal
'mid cannons' roar and rifles peal
We'll chant a soldier's song.

In valley green on towering crag
Our fathers fought before us
And conquered 'neath the same old flag
That's proudly floating o'er us.
We're children 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

Sons of the gael! men of the pale!
The long watched day is breaking;
The serried ranks of inisfail
Shall set the tyrant quaking.
Our camp fires now are burning low;
See in the east a silv'ry glow
Out yonder waits the saxon foe
So chant a soldier's song.
