Lyrics:

Oh come tell me Sean O'Farrell
Tell me why you hurry so
Hush a buckle, hush and listen
And his cheeks were all aglow
I bear orders for the captain
Get you ready quick and soon
For the pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon

Oh come tell me Sean O'Farrell
Where the gathering is to be
A view spot by the river
Quite well known to you and me
One more word for signal token
Whistle loud the marching 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 from many a mud-walk
Happy knights were wading through the night
Many a manly heart was beating
For the blessed morning light
Murmurs rang along the valleys
To the banshees' lonely croon
And a thousand pipes were flashing
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
And a thousand pipes were flashing
By the rising of the moon

All along the singing river
That black mass of men was seen
High above their shiny weapons
Flew their own beloved green
Death to every foe and traitor
Whistle loud the marching tune
And the army fights for freedom
'Tis 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
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
With your pike upon your shoulder
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
And a thousand pipes were flashing
By the rising of the moon
At the rising of the moon
At the rising of the moon
And the army fights for freedom
At the rising of the moon
