|
O come tell me Sean O'Farrell |
|
"Tell me why you hurry so? |
|
Hush ma bouchal, 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 |
|
By the rising of the moon" |
|
"O come tell me Sean O'Farrell |
|
Where the gath'rin is to be? |
|
At the old spot by the river |
|
Quite well-known to you and me |
|
One more word for signal token |
|
Whistle out the marchin' tune |
|
With your pike upon your shoulder |
|
By the rising of the moon |
|
By the rising of the moon |
|
By the rising of the moon |
|
With your pike upon your shoulder |
|
By the rising of the moon" |
|
Out from many a mud wall cabin |
|
Eyes were watching through the night |
|
Many a manly heart was beating |
|
For the blessed morning light |
|
Murmurs rang along the valleys |
|
To the banshee's lonely croon |
|
And a thousand pikes were flashing |
|
By the rising of the moon |
|
By the rising of the moon |
|
By the rising of the moon |
|
And a thousand pikes were flashing |
|
By the rising of the moon |
|
All along that singing river |
|
That black mass of men were seen |
|
High above their shining weapons |
|
To their own beloved green |
|
"Death to every foe and traitor! |
|
Whistle out the marching tune |
|
And hurrah my boy for freedom |
|
At the rising of the moon" |
|
By the rising of the moon |
|
By the rising of the moon |
|
For the pikes must be together |
|
By the rising of the moon |
|
By the rising of the moon |
|
By the rising of the moon |
|
With your pike upon your shoulder |
|
By the rising of the moon |
|
By the rising of the moon |
|
By the rising of the moon |
|
And a thousand pikes were flashing |
|
By the rising of the moon |
|
By the rising of the moon |
|
By the rising of the moon |
|
For the pikes must be together |
|
By the rising of the moon |
|
At the rising of the moon |
|
At the rising of the moon |
|
And hurrah my boy for freedom |
|
At the rising of the moon. |
