[00:06.198]One evening fair as the sun was shining
[00:11.130]To Kilkenny I did ride
[00:13.713]I did meet with Captain Brady
[00:16.454]A tall commander by his side
[00:19.097]Then you are welcome Highland Paddy
[00:24.407]By my side you'll surely stand
[00:27.035]Hear the people shout for freedom
[00:31.173]We'll rise in the morning with the Fenian band
[00:33.965]Rise in the morning with the Fenian band
[00:37.003]In the mornin' we rose early
[00:42.157]Just before the break of dawn
[00:44.567]Blackbirds singing in the bushes
[00:47.356]Greetings to a smiling morn'
[00:50.093]Gather round me men of Ireland
[00:55.277]Gather Fenians gather round
[00:57.797]Hand to hand with sword and musket
[01:00.424]Spill the blood upon this holy ground
[01:03.217]Then you are welcome Highland Paddy
[01:08.551]By my side you'll surely stand
[01:11.193]Hear the people shout for freedom
[01:15.388]We'll rise in the morning with the Fenian band
[01:18.343]Rise in the morning with the Fenian band
[01:21.450]There's a grave beside the river
[01:26.395]A mile outside Kilkenny Town
[01:29.027]There we laid our noble captain
[01:31.560]Birds were silent when this Fenian died
[01:34.628]All my life I will remember
[01:39.702]I'll remember night and day
[01:42.731]That once I rode into Kilkenny
[01:44.836]And I heard this noble captain say
[01:47.767]Then you are welcome Highland Paddy
[01:53.074]By my side you'll surely stand
[01:55.623]Hear the people shout for freedom
[02:00.479]We'll rise in the morning with the Fenian band
[02:02.746]Rise in the morning with the Fenian band
[02:05.693]Then you are welcome Highland Paddy
