They're sending me down
they're sending me down
they're sending me down
to fight for the soldier...
(repeat x4)

The king he bade
the king he bade
the king he bade
and I must away...
(repeat x3)

They send me away
they send me away
they send me away
to kill the French man...

They send me away
they send me away
they send me away
they send me away
they send me away
they send me away
and I WON'T DIE FOR ENGLAND!

So over the sea
and over the sea
and over the sea
I go away now...
(repeat x2)

Far n' away
far n' away
far n' away
to kill the French man
(repeat x2)

The king he bade
the king he bade
the king he bade
and I must away...
(repeat x2)

To kill the man
to kill the
to kill the man
that I have never seen...

Far n' away
far n' away
far n' away
far n' away
far n' away
far n' away
and I WON'T DIE FOR ENGLAND!

...This is an old Irish song...

Will ye go, Lassie go?
And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
(repeat x5)

I WON'T DIE FOR ENGLAND!
