I've been listening to a really cool band called "Scythian" a lot lately. They came to Franciscan and put on an awesome concert. They do traditional Irish and Scottish songs as well as some originals and some covers. I really like this song even thought its sad.I couldn't find a clip of them playing but I did find this guy and he has a pretty awesome voice anyway. I thought I should put the lyrics here as he is a little hard to understand at points.
I Will Go
Chorus
I will go, I will go
When the fighting is over
Tae the land o' MacLeod
That I left to be a soldier
I will go, I will go
When the King's son came along
And called us all together
Sayin', Brave Highland men
Will you fight for my father?
I will go, I will go
Chorus
I will go, I will go
When the fighting is over
Tae the land o' MacLeod
That I left to be a soldier
I will go, I will go
I've a buckle on my belt
A sword in my scabbard
A red coat on my back
And a shillin' in my pocket
I will go, I will go
Chorus
I will go, I will go
When the fighting is over
Tae the land o' MacLeod
That I left to be a soldier
I will go, I will go
When they brought us all on board
The lasses were singin'
But the tears came to their eyes
When the bells started ringin'
I will go, I will go
Chorus
I will go, I will go
When the fighting is over
Tae the land o' MacLeod
That I left to be a soldier
I will go, I will go
When we landed on the shore
And saw the foreign heather
We knew that some would fall
And would lie there forever
I will go, I will go
Chorus
I will go, I will go
When the fighting is over
Tae the land o' MacLeod
That I left to be a soldier
I will go, I will go
When we came back to the glen
The winter was coming
Our goods lay in the snow
And our houses were burnin'
I will go... I will go
Chorus
I will go, I will go
When the fighting is over
Tae the land o' MacLeod
That I left to be a soldier
I will go, I will go
