Enemy At Portside Lyrics

Original Broadway Cast Enemy At Portside

TIERNAN
Head and move back lads and bring us about
This is going to be by hand and by sword
They never knew about this harbor before
Look alive, lads, they're coming aboard!

DONAL
Soon they'll be here on deck!
I can't fight them at sea
I'm not going to die here
I'm in charge and I say it's time to surrender!

TIERNAN
(spoken)
Take this sword!

GRANIA
(spoken)
What's happening out there?
Tell me!

MAJELLA
Grania, Captain
Things look bad
We've English sailors
Come on board!
Donal, Ma'am
The Man's a traitor
Holy God!
Protect us Lord!
Donal, yes, your husband
Wants us to surrender!

GRACE
Quickly now, I need my sword!

MAJELLA
(spoken)
No Grania. You can't; you can't move! You are too weak.

GRACE
(spoken)
I must go up there.

MAJELLA
(spoken)
No Grania you can't.

GRACE
(spoken)
Majella, give me my sword.

MAJELLA
(spoken)
No, you can't.

GRACE
(spoken)
Give me my sword.
