Thread Name: Lyr Req: song from 'The Man Who Would Be King'
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: song from 'The Man Who Would Be King'
According to Wikipedia, the lyrics are those of the hymn "The Son of God Goes Off to War," but it's sung to "The Minstrel Boy," an Irish patriotic song. Evidently, the producers must have liked that tune better.
