Swords Of A Thousand Men - The Real McKenzies

Deep in the castle, back from the war

Back with milady and the fires burnt tall

Hurrah went the men down below

All outside was the rain and snow

Hear their shouts, hear their roars

They’ve probably had a barrel, and much, much more

Hurrah, Hurrah, Hurrah, Yea

Over the hills came the swords of a thousand men

We had to meet the enemy a mile away

Thunder in the air and the sky turned grey

Assembling the knights and their swords were sharp

But there wasn’t a hope in your English hearts

Hear our roar, hear our sound

We’re gonna fight until we’ve won this town

Hurrah, Hurrah, Hurrah, Yea

Over the hills came the swords of a thousand men

When the knights come along at the end of the day

Some are half-alive and some have run away

Hear our triumph, hear our roar

We’re gonna drink a barrel, and much, much more

Hurrah, Hurrah, Hurrah, Yea

Over the hills came the swords of a thousand men

Hurrah, Hurrah, Hurrah, Yea

Hurrah, Hurrah, Hurrah, Yea — yea

Hurrah, Hurrah, Hurrah, Yea

Hurrah, Hurrah, Hurrah, Yea — yea

Hurrah, Hurrah, Hurrah, Yea

Over the hills came the swords of a thousand
