Original Broadway Cast - Each In Time lyrics

[BINGHAM] Behold the end of the Irish Chieftains Surrendering now to us one by one Let their blood run red On their fields of green As they swear their oath now To serve the rule of the Queen. [TIERNAN] Each in time Each man in turn Come day or deed must tender His unconditional surrender And here am I, but one more soul Who chooses now to die I plead for these men Whose pride has been lost My choice is my own at last So don't shed a tear, not for me My life cut short so she may live A hundred lives I'd gladly give And so it is my turn has come As ever your defender With joyous heart, I surrender 'Cause each in time Each man in turn Must to his fortune's own I will give my life for this A love I'll never know (spoken) A deal my Lord, for the Chieftan O'Malley My life for hers for the sake of her child [BINGHAM] You offer nothing but yourself, you mean? And you think this will amuse, appease, her Highness, the Queen? (laughs)
