| One evening fair as the sun was shining
|
| To Kilkenny I did ride
|
| I did meet with Captain Brady
|
| A tall commander by his side
|
| Then you are welcome Highland Paddy
|
| By my side you’ll surely stand
|
| Hear the people shout for freedom
|
| We’ll rise in the morning with the Fenian band
|
| Rise in the morning with the Fenian band
|
| In the mornin' we rose early
|
| Just before the break of dawn
|
| Blackbirds singing in the bushes
|
| Greetings to a smiling morn'
|
| Gather round me men of Ireland
|
| Gather Fenians gather round
|
| Hand to hand with sword and musket
|
| Spill the blood upon this holy ground
|
| Then you are welcome Highland Paddy
|
| By my side you’ll surely stand
|
| Hear the people shout for freedom
|
| We’ll rise in the morning with the Fenian band
|
| Rise in the morning with the Fenian band
|
| There’s a glen beside the river
|
| Just outside Kilkenny Town
|
| There we met this noble captain
|
| Men lay dead upon the ground
|
| Then you are welcome Highland Paddy
|
| By my side you’ll surely stand
|
| Hear the people shout for freedom
|
| We’ll rise in the morning with the Fenian band
|
| Rise in the morning with the Fenian band
|
| There’s a grave beside the river
|
| A mile outside Kilkenny Town
|
| There we laid our noble captain
|
| Birds were silent when this Fenian died
|
| All my life I will remember
|
| I’ll remember night and day
|
| That once I rode into Kilkenny
|
| And I heard this noble captain say
|
| Then you are welcome Highland Paddy
|
| By my side you’ll surely stand
|
| Hear the people shout for freedom
|
| We’ll rise in the morning with the Fenian band
|
| Rise in the morning with the Fenian band |
