    The Rising of the Moon
    _____________________
    Chorus
    By the rising of the moon
    By the rising of the moon
    With your pikes upon your shoulders
    By the rising of the moon
    No 3
    Out from many a mud walled cabin
    Eyes were watching through the night
    Many a manly heart was beating
    For the blessed morning light
    Murmors passed along the valley
    Like the thousand branches lonely croon
    And a thousand blades were flashing
    By the rising of the moon
    Chorus
    By the rising of the moon
    By the rising of the moon
    And a thousand blades were flashing
    By the rising of the moon
    No 4
    Well they fought for dear old Ireland
    And full bitter was their fate
