The Rising of the Moon
______________________Oh come tell me Sean O Farrell
Tell me why you hurry so
Eist mo buacaill hush and listen
And his cheeks were all aglow
I bear orders from the Captain
Let you ready quick and soon
For our pikes must be to gether
By the rising of the moon.Chorus
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
For our pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon. No 2
Oh come tell me Sean O Farrell
Where the gathering is to be
In the old spot by the river
Right well known to you and me
One word more for signals token
Forward strike the marching tune
With your pikes upon your shoulders
By the rising of the moon.(continues on next page)- Collector
