The Rising of the Moon
Oh then tell me Sean O'Farrell
Tell me why you hurry so
Hush, mo buachaill, 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
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
The pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon
Oh then tell me Sean O'Farrell
Where's the gathering to be
In the old spot by the river
Right well known to you and me
One more word for signal token
Like the bean sídhe's lonely croon
With a pike upon your shoulder
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
The pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
The pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon
Out from many a mud wall cabin
Eyes were watching through the night
Many manly hearts were beating
For the coming morning light
Murmurs rang along the valley
Like the bean sídhe's lonely croon
And a thousand pikes were calling
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
The pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
The pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon
And they fought for poor old Ireland
And full bitter was their fate
Oh, what glorious pride and sorrow
Fills the name of '98
Death to every foe and traitor
Forward strike the marching tune
Hurrah, me boys, for freedom
Tis the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
The pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
The pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
The pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
The pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon
Tell me why you hurry so
Hush, mo buachaill, 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
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
The pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon
Oh then tell me Sean O'Farrell
Where's the gathering to be
In the old spot by the river
Right well known to you and me
One more word for signal token
Like the bean sídhe's lonely croon
With a pike upon your shoulder
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
The pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
The pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon
Out from many a mud wall cabin
Eyes were watching through the night
Many manly hearts were beating
For the coming morning light
Murmurs rang along the valley
Like the bean sídhe's lonely croon
And a thousand pikes were calling
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
The pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
The pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon
And they fought for poor old Ireland
And full bitter was their fate
Oh, what glorious pride and sorrow
Fills the name of '98
Death to every foe and traitor
Forward strike the marching tune
Hurrah, me boys, for freedom
Tis the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
The pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
The pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
The pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
The pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon
