D-DU-UDU
 I am  as god made  me
 I have  no desire
 For a  mouth at my breast
 Or a  pot on the fire
 I heed  the higher voices,
 I go  where I'm sent
 To mow  down the men  who refuse  to repent
 I'm a scythe
 In a field  full of briars
 And they won't  call me mother
 Or sister  or wife
 They will know  me or not
 by the strenght  of my life
 I will burn  with a light of my own
 They'll know  me as Joan
 The courage  of Catherine,
 The flames  of the forge,
 The Sword  of St. Michael,
 The blood  of St. George,
 I take  what I'm given,
 I follow  my truth,
 I gladly  abandon  the bloom  of my youth,
 I'm the lashing,
 that falls  from the scourge.
 Last verse and chorus the same.
