"Oh! then tell me, Shawn O'Ferrall, tell me why you hurry so?" \

|
"Hush ma bouchal, hush and listen", and his cheeks were all a-glow. \
|
|
"I bear orders from the captain, make you ready quick and soon, \
|
|
For the pikes must be together by the risin' of the moon". \
|
|
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, Shawn O'Ferrall, where the gatherin' is to be?" \
|
|
"In the ould 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. \

|
|
Many a manly heart was throbbing for the coming morning light. \
|
|
Rumours ran along the valleys like the banshee's lonely croon, \
|
|
And a thousand blades were flashing by the risin' of the moon. \
|
|
By the risin' of the moon, by the risin' of the moon, \
|
|
And a thousand blades were flashing by the risin' of the moon. \
|
|
|
|
All along the singing river that dark mass of men was seen, \
|
|
Far above their shining weapons hung their own beloved green. \
|
|
"Death to ev'ry foe and traitor! Forward! strike the marchin' tune, \
|
|
And hurrah, my boys, for freedom! 'Tis the risin' of the moon". \
|
|
'Tis the risin' of the moon, 'Tis the risin' of the moon, \
|
|
And hurrah my boys for freedom! 'Tis the risin' of the moon. \
