71 - My Mother Told Me

Words by Egill Skallagrímsson

This is a very short song, usually sung through a few times

My mother told me
Someday I will buy
Galley with good oars
Sail to distant shores
Stand up on the prow
Noble barque I steer
Steady course to the haven
Hew many foe-men
Hew many foe-men
