The Rising of the Moon
View ArtistLyrics
Oh then tell me, Sean O'Farrell, tell me why you hurry so? Hush me bouachaill, hush and listen! and his cheeks were all aglow I bear orders from the Captain: get you ready quick and soon For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon Oh, then tell me, Sean O'Farrell, where the gathеring is to be? At the old spot by the rivеr, right well known to you and me One word more for signal token; whistle up a marching tune With your pike upon your shoulder at the rising of the moon At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon With your pike upon your shoulder at the rising of the moon Out of many a mud-walled cabin eyes were watching through that night Many a manly heart was throbbing for the coming warning light Murmurs ran along the valley like the banshee's lonely croon And a thousand pikes were flashing at the rising of the moon At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon And a thousand pikes were flashing at the rising of the moon All along that singing river, that dark mass of men was seen Far above their shining weapons hung their own beloved Green "Death to every foe and traitor! Forward -- strike the marching tune "And hurrah! me boys, for freedom! T'is the rising of the moon!" T'is the rising of the moon, t'is the rising of the moon And hurrah! me boys, for freedom! T'is the rising of the moon! Oh, they fought for poor old Ireland and full bitter was their fate What a glorious pride and sorrow fills the name of Ninety-Eight! Yet thank God! There still are beating hearts in manhood's burning noon Who would follow in their footsteps at the rising of the moon! At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon Who would follow in their footsteps at the rising of the moon!
