Come and tell me Sean O'Farrell tell me why you hurry so
|
Hush me boy, now hush and listen and his eyes 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
|
|
Come now tell me Sean O'Farrell where the gath'rin is to be
|
At the old spot by the river right 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
|
|
There beside the singing river that dark mass of men was seen
|
For above their shining weapons hung their own immortal green
|
Death to every foe and traitor! Forward strike the marching tune
|
And hurrah, my boys, for freedom, 'tis the rising of the moon
|
|
How well they fought for poor old Ireland
|
And for bitter was their fate
|
Oh what glorious pride and sorrow fills the name of กฏ98
|
Yes thank god while hearts are beating, each man bears a burning wound
|
We will follow in their footsteps at the rising of the moon
|
