A Welsh song first published by Edward Jones in 1784
RorkesDriftVC.com has a wonderful collection of different varients
Men of Harlech, wake from sleeping,
Saxon tyrants are now creeping,
Like a river, onward sweeping,
Swiftly through the night.
Side by side with spear and bowmen
With your valour you shall show men
How to vanquish Saxon foe-men
Put them all to flight.
Fight for wives and mothers
Children, sisters, brothers.
Your country needs your gallant deeds
To save yourself and others.
Whilst the battle drums are beating
This your war cry, this your greeting
No surrender, no retreating
Harlech wins the fight.
NOT this version:
Men of Harlech, Men of Harlech,
Men of Harlech, Men of Harlech,
Men of Harlech, Men of Harlech,
FUCK OFF BACK TO WALES
