The Rising Of The Moon |
| Ah then tell me Sean O’Farrell |
| Tell me why you hurry so |
| Hush my boy now hush and listen |
| And his eyes were all aglow |
| I bear orders from the captain |
| Get ye ready quick and soon |
| For the pikes must be together |
| At the rising of the moon |
| Ah then tell me Sean O’Farrell |
| Where the gath’rin is to be |
| In the old spot by the river |
| Right well known to you and me |
| One word more, a signal token |
| Whistle of the marchin' tune |
| With your pike upon your shoulder |
| At the rising of the moon |
| There beside that singing river |
| That dark mass of men was seen |
| Far above their shining weapons |
| Hung their own immortal green |
| Death to every foe and traitor! |
| Forward strike the marchin' tune |
| And hurrah, my boys, for freedom! |
| 'Tis the rising of the moon |
| How well they fought for poor old Ireland |
| And full bitter, was their fate |
| Oh what glorious pride and sorrow |
| Fills the name of '98 |
| Yet thank God while hearts are beating |
| Each man bears a burning wound |
| We will follow in their footsteps |
| At the rising of the moon |
