Come all who will listen, give an ear to our song
and we’ll sing in the praise of women fearsome and strong
In battle or revel, they’ll see the job through -
Drink hail to the ladies, all heroines true!

Drink hail to the ladies, all heroines true!

Drink hail to the ladies, all heroines true!

Drink hail to the ladies, all heroines true!

Matilda de Broase stalwart Lady of Hay
in armor led forces to keep the Welsh at bay
land and castle unconquered, her foes all withdrew
Drink hail to the lady, a heroine true.

Drink hail to the ladies, all heroines true!

So mighty in warfare she was addressed King
As her nation's defender in glory she grew
