Now come tell me Sean O'Farrell

Tell me why you hurry so?

Hush a bhuachaill, hush and listen

And his cheeks were all aglow

I have orders from the captain

Get you ready quick and soon

For the pikes must be together

At the rising of the moon

The rising of the moon

The rising of the moon

The pikes must be together

At the rising of the moon

And come tell me Sean O'Farrell

Where the gatherin' 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 upon your shoulder

At the rising of the moon

The rising of the moon

The rising of the moon

With your pike upon your shoulder

At the rising of the moon

Out 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 banshee's lonely croon

And a thousand pikes were flashing

At the rising of the moon

The rising of the moon

The rising of the moon

A thousand pikes were flashing

At the rising of the moon

All along that 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

The rising of the moon

The rising of the moon

And Hurrah! me boys for freedom

'Tis the rising of the moon

The rising of the moon

The rising of the moon

And Hurrah! me boys for freedom

'Tis the rising of the moon
