Enemy At Portside Lyrics - Original Broadway Cast

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.
