Risin' of the Moon Lyrics & Tabs by The Clancy Brothers & Robbie O’Connell
Risin' of the Moon
guitar chords lyrics
Oh come tell me Sean O'Farrell tell me why you hurry so
Husha buachaill hush and listen and his cheeks were all a glow
I bare orders from the captain make you ready quick and soon
For the pikes must be together by 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
Oh then tell me Sean O'Farrell where the gath'rin is to be
At the old spot by the river quite 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 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 to many a mud wall cabin, eyes were watching through the night
Many a manly heart was throbbing for that coming morning light
Rumours rang along the valleys like the banshees lonely croon
Out to many a mud wall cabin, eyes were watching through the night
Many a manly heart was throbbing for that coming morning light
Rumours rang along the valleys like the banshees lonely 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 that singing river, that black mass of men was seen
High above their shining weapons hung their own beloved green
Death to every foe and traitor! O'er strikes the marching tune
And hurrah, me boys, for freedom, 'tis 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
