lyrics

KING´S SHILLING
(Carlos del Pino, Bryn Gorry)

Rhyme nor reason, can´t explain it
Why I stand on Spanish soil
All my memories are of Ireland
But the coat I wear is English wool

The choice they gave me was bread and water
And a paupers grave my certain faith
Or travel for the king of England
And keep the emperor from his gate

To fight for those who have enslaved me
To wave their flags and spill my blood
To turn my back on my own country
To leave my bones in foreign mud

The men I kill fight for their homeland
To make it strong and keep for her free
As the sun sets on Conemara
The guns of Badajoz will set for me
