The Rising Of The Moon

歌詞

And come tell me Sean O'Farrell, tell me why you hurry so Husha buachaill hush and listen and his eyes were all a glow I bear orders from the captain, get 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 And come 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 more word for signal token, whistle out 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 from many a mud wall cabin eyes were watching through the night Many a manly heart was throbbin' for the coming morning light Murmurs rang along the valleys to 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. Then the moon rose over the valley, and the cheering died away, And the women went within their doors at the heel of the summer day And no men came in at midnight, and no men came in at dawn And the women stayed by their ashy fires until their faces were higher than long And they knew they had gone to the trysting with pipe and musketoon To fight for their hearts and altars At the rising of the moon. All along that singing river that dark mass of men was seen High above their shining weapons flew their own beloved green Death to every foe and traitor! For we'd strike 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 Well they fought for poor old Ireland and full bitter was their fate. Oh what glorious pride and sorrow fills the name of 98 Yet thank God their hearts are still beating still in manhood's burning noon. Who would follow in their footsteps at the rising of the moon. By the rising of the moon, By the rising of the moon. Who will follow in their footsteps by the rising of the moon.
