Lyrics:

Over the heather the westward blows
I've ice in my tunic and the cold in my nose
The rain comes fallin' out o' the sky
I'm a soldier on the wall and I don't know why

The mist is lyin' on the hard grey stone
My woman has gone, I'm sleepin' all alone
There's somebody else hanging 'round her place
I don't like him, I don't like his face

I saw a Christian worshippin' the Fish
They don't kiss him if he had his wish
She gave me a ring, I gambled it away
I want my woman and I want my pay

When I'm old with only one eye
Then I've got all day talk about this guy
I'm a soldier on the wall, a soldier on the wall
I'm a solider on the wall and I don't know why

Over the heather the west wind blows
Ice in my tunic and the cold in my nose
The rain comes fallin' out o' the sky
I'm a soldier on the wall, a soldier on the wall
I'm a solider on the wall and I don't know why
