Bold Marauder Lyrics

Words and music by Richard Farina







And it's hi ho hey, I am a bold marauder



And it's hi ho hey, I am the white destroyer



For I will show you silver and gold, and I will bring you treasure



I will wave a widowing flag, and I will be your lover



And I will show you grotto and cave and sacrificial alter



And I will show you blood on the stone and I will be your mentor



And night will be our darling and fear will be our name







And it's hi ho hey, I am the bold marauder



And it's hi ho hey, I am the white destroyer



For I will take you out by the hand and lead you to the hunter



And I will show you thunder and steel and I will be your teacher



And we will dress in helmet and sword and dip our tongues in slaughter



And we will sing a warrior's song and lift the praise of murder



And Christ will be our darling and fear will be our name







And it's hi ho hey, I am the bold marauder



And it's hi ho hey, I am the white destroyer



For I will sour the winds on high and I will soil the river



And I will burn the grain in the field and I will be your mother



And I will go to ravage and kill and will go to plunder



And I will take a fury to wife and I will be your mother



And death will be our darling and fear will be our name
