Now come tell me Sean O'Farrell tell me why you hurry so

F C G C

Hush abhucachaill, hush and listen and his cheeks were all aglow

C G

I have orders from the Captain, Get you ready quick and soon

F C G C

For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon

C G

At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon

F C G C

The pikes must be together at the rising of the moon

And come tell me Sean O'Farrell where the gathering is to be

At the old spot by the river quite well known to you and me

And by way of signal token, whistle loud the marching tune

With your pike across your shoulder at the rising of the moon

At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon

With your pike across your shoulder at the rising of the moon

(Repeat intro X 4)

From many a mud wall cabin eyes were watching through the night

Many a manly heart was beating for the blessed morning light

Murmurs ran along the valley like the banshees lonely croon

And a thousand pikes a flashing at the rising of the moon

At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon

A thousand pikes were flashing at the rising of the moon

All along the singing river a black mass of men was seen

And above their shining weapons hung their own beloved green

Death to every foe and traitor, whistle loud the marching tune

And hurrah! me boys for freedom, 'tis the rising of the moon

At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon

And hurrah! me boys for freedom, 'tis the rising of the moon

At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon
