CHAIN MAIL LEGGINGS BY Beoir Blackrune

WHEN I WENT TO WAR WHEN I WAS YOUNG, MY CHAINMAIL LEGGINS I PUT ON. MY CHAINMAIL LEGGINGS I PUT ON, FOR FIGHTING ON THE SHIELD WALL, THE SHIELD WALL.

(CHORUS)

AND I WAS WEARING CHAINMAIL BRITCHES, JUMPING DITCHES, SEEKING RICHES, DODGING BITCHES, I WAS FIGHTING ON THE SHIELD WALL.

MY SECOND YEAR I FELT SO BOLD, I PAINTED MY SHIELD WITH BLACK AND GOLD. I PAINTED MY SHIELD WITH BLACK AND GOLD, FOR FIGHTING ON THE SHIELD WALL, THE SHIELD WALL.

(CHORUS)

NOW WHEN I WENT BACK IN MY THIRD YEAR, I SWORE I WOULD HAVE A SPEAR. BUT MY CAPTAIN SAID, “NO, MY FRIEND I FEAR, YOU’RE FIGHTING ON THE SHIELD WALL,” THE SHIELD WALL.

(CHORUS)

NOW I WENT BACK FOR NUMBER FOUR, WELL IN THAT YEAR I WAS MIGHTY POOR. SO I SOLD MY SERVICES TO A FOREIGN SHORE FOR FIGHTING ON THE SHIELD WALL, THE SHIELD WALL.

(CHORUS)

AND IN THE FIFTH YEAR THAT I WENT OUT, I FINALLY HAD EARNED SOME CLOUT, A PRIVATE NO MORE AS A SARGENT I SHOUT, “YOU’RE FIGHTING ON THE SHIELD WALL,” THE SHIELD WALL.

(CHORUS)

WHEN I REACH THE AGE OF SEVENTY-SEVEN, I’LL FINALLY THINK OF GOING TO HEAVEN, IF I LEAVE ONE SON THAN I’LL LEAVE ELEVEN, A’ FIGHTING ON THE SHIELD WALL, THE SHIELD WALL.

(CHORUS REVISED)

AND THEY’LL BE WEARING, CHAINMAIL BRITCHES, JUMPING DITCHES, SEEKING RICHES, DODGING BITCHES, THEY’LL BE FIGHTIN ON THE SHIELD WALL.
