The Rising of the Moon:
(Sung to the tune of The Rising of the Moon)

Now come tell me Gyda Dunwynn
Tell me why you hurry so?
Hush a bhuachaill, hush and listen
And her cheeks were all aglow
I have orders from Lord Fin
Get you ready quick and soon
For the Troop must be together
At the rising of the moon

The rising of the moon
The rising of the moon
The Troop must be together
At the rising of the moon

And come tell me Gyda Dunwynn
Where the gatherin' is to be
At the old spot by the river
Quite well known to you and me
And by way of signal token
Whistle loud the marching tune
With your lance upon your shoulder
At the rising of the moon

The rising of the moon
The rising of the moon
With your lance upon your shoulder
At the rising of the moon

Out from many a mud wall cabin
Eyes were watching through the night
Many a manly heart was beating
For the blessed morning light
Murmurs ran along the valley
Like the banshee's lonely croon
With a thousand lances flashing
At the rising of the moon

The rising of the moon
The rising of the moon
With a thousand lances flashing
At the rising of the moon

All along that singing river
A black mass of men was seen
And above their shining weapons
Hung the bold crimson & green
Death to every foe and traitor!
Whistle loud the marching tune
And Hurrah! me boys for freedom
'Tis the rising of the moon

The rising of the moon
The rising of the moon
And Hurrah! me boys for freedom
'Tis the rising of the moon

The rising of the moon
The rising of the moon
And Hurrah! me boys for freedom
'Tis the rising of the moon
