Lyrics:

It was a summer’s eve We crossed the reeds into the northern territory, just a deck of cards on me No breadcrumbs at my feet

We’d never stray too far away from the cornerstone, embedded at the crossroads between Ballagh-bridge and home

We’d been well warned of the storm and of the cavalry sent by her Majesty in the interest of peace If peace is love and there’s no love like that of the family, then why’re they keeping mine from me? I’d wonder on my way

The border boys beat the drums of their fathers The border boys beat the drums of their fathers, til they come home

If they ever come home Ten to nine, I’m intended for the parlour where the only armour you need is a hand and a patient mind

Come ten to nine, suddenly I find I’m in a stable Hands bound, head bowed ’cause there’s trouble along the line

And the border boys beat the drums of their fathers Border boys beat the drums of their fathers Border boys beat the drums of their fathers The border boys beat the drums of their fathers I guess I’m not coming home
