Collection of Irish Song Lyrics
Risin' of the Moon
"Oh then tell me Sean O'Farrell tell me why you hurry so"
"hush me bhuachaill hush and listen" and his cheeks were all a glow
I bear orders from our Captain get ye ready quick and soon
for the pikes must be together by the Risin' of the Moon
CHORUS
By the Risin' of the Moon, By the Risin' of the Moon
for the pikes must be together by the Risin' of the Moon
"Oh 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 word more for Signal Token whistle up the marchin tune
with your pike upon your shoulder by the Risin of the Moon
By the Risin' of the Moon, By the Risin' of the Moon
with your pike upon your shoulder by the Risin of the Moon
Out of many a mud walled cabin eyes were watchin through the night
many a manly heart was throbbin' o're the blessed morning light
murmers passed along the valleys like the banshee's lonely croon
and a thousand pikes were flashin by the Risin of the Moon
By the Risin' of the Moon, By the Risin' of the Moon
and a thousand pikes were flashin by the Risin of the Moon
Down there by that singin river where the gatherin' was to be
high above their shinin' weapons hung their own beloved green
death to every foe and traitor forward strike the marchin' tune
and hurrah my boy for freedom 'tis the Risin' of the Moon
'Tis the Risin' oif the Moon "Tis the Risin of the Moon
and hurrah my boy for freedom 'tis the Risin' of the Moon
