Ansteorran Man


Words: Padraig Ruad O'Maolagain
Tune: Solitary Man - Neil Diamond

Ansteorra was mine, from the time that I found her
Sable Star, going far
I wished to be King, so I strapped on my armour
Learned to fight, to be a Knight

Chorus:
I know that I will, so until I can fight me
The bout that makes me King, with the Black Star behind me
I'll be what I am
Ansteorran man
Ansteorran man

Listen to the bards as they spin out the stories
Sing their songs all night long
Telling ancient tales of the splendor and glory
That they say we live again today

Chorus

Now for my lady I'll go to the list field
Sword and shield, never yield
Face my opponent for chivalry and honor
Fighters bold, for the Black and Gold

Chorus
