Lyrics to The Rising Of The Moon
The Rising Of The Moon Video:
"Tell me, tell me, Sean O´Farrell, tell me why you hurry so?" "Hush mavoughal, hush and listen," and his face was all aglow "I bear orders from the captain, get you ready quick and soon With your pike upon your shoulder for the rising of the moon" By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon, for the pikes must be together, by the rising of the moon "Tell me, tell me, Sean O´Farrell, where the gatherin´ is to be?" "Near the old spot by the river, right well known to you and me" "One more thing, the signal token?" "Whistle up the marching tune For our pikes must be together by the rising of the moon" By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon, with your pike upon your shoulder, by the rising of the moon Out from many a mud-walled cabin, eyes were lookin´ through the night Many a manly heart was throbin´ for the blessed morning light A cry arose along the river, like some banshee´s mournful croon And a thousand pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon, and a thousand pikes were flashing, by the rising of the moon All along the shining river one black mass of men was seen And above them in the night wind floated our immortal green Death to every foe and traitor. Onward, strike the marching tune And hurrah me boys for freedom, it´s the rising of the moon 'Tis the rising of the moon, 'tis the rising of the moon, And hurrah, me boys, for freedom, 'tis the rising of the moon
