Rising Of The Moon - Declan Hunt

[00:02.609] Oh then tell me Sean O'Farrell, tell me why you hurry so
[00:08.516] Hush a bhuachaill, hush and listen and his cheeks were all aglow
[00:13.503] I bear orders from the captain, get you ready quick and soon
[00:18.904] For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon
[00:24.939] Oh then tell me Sean O'Farrell, where the gathering is to be
[00:30.302] At the old spot by the river quite well known to you and me
[00:35.011] One more word for signal token, whistle out the marching tune
[00:40.131] With your pike upon your shoulder at the rising of the moon
[00:46.066] Out from many a mud walled cabin eyes were watching through the night
[00:50.868] Many a manly heart was beating for the blessed morning's light
[00:55.710] Murmurs ran along the valley like the banshee's lonely croon
[01:00.935] And a thousand blades were flashing by the rising of the moon
[01:06.785] There beside singing river, that dark mass of men were seen
[01:11.617] High above their shining weapons flew their own beloved green
[01:16.379] Death to every foe and traitor, forward! Strike the marching tune!
[01:21.547] And hoorah me boys for freedom 'tis the rising of the moon
[01:27.124] Well they fought for poor old Ireland and full bitter was their fate
[01:31.971] Oh what glorious pride and sorrow fills the name of 98
[01:36.671] Yet thank god still their beating hearts in manhood's burning noon
[01:41.617] Who will follow in their footsteps at the rising of the moon
[01:46.254] At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon
[01:51.023] Who would follow in their footsteps by the rising of the moon
