The Rising of the Moon

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:

Ahh, then tell me Sean O'Farrell, tell me why you hurry so

Hush me buachaill, hush and listen and his eyes were all a glow

I bear orders from the captain, get you ready quick and soon

For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moonAhh, then tell me Sean O'Farrell where the gatherin' is to be

In the old spot by the river, right well known to you and me

One more word, a signal token, whistle out the marchin' tune

With your pike upon your shoulder at the rising of the moonThere beside the singing river that dark mass of men were seen

Far above their shining weapons hung their own immortal green

Death to every foe and traitor, forward strike the marching tune

And hurrah, me boys, for freedom, 'tis the rising of the moonHow well they fought for poor old Ireland and for 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 loom

We would follow in their footsteps at the rising of the moon

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
