Oh, then tell me Sean O’Farrell
Tell me why you hurry so
Hush me Buchall hush and listen
And his cheeks 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
Chorus:
By the Rising of the Moon
By the Rising of the Moon
For the pikes must be together
By the Rising of the Moon
Oh, then 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 more word for signal token
Whistle up the marching tune
With your pike upon your shoulder
By the Rising of the Moon
Chorus:
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 of many a mud wall cabin
Eyes were watching thru' the night
Many a manly heart was throbbing
For the coming morning light
Murmers ran along the valley
Like the banshee’s lonely croon
And a thousand pikes were flashing
By the Rising of the Moon
Chorus:
By the Rising of the Moon
By the Rising of the Moon
And a thousand pikes were flashing
By the Rising of the Moon
There beside the singing river
That dark mass of men were seen
Far above their shining weapons hung
Their own beloved green
Death to every foe and traitor
Forward strike the marching tune
And hurrah me boys for freedom
Tis the Rising of the Moon
Chorus:
Tis the Rising of the Moon
Tis the Rising of the Moon
And hurrah me boys for freedom
Tis the Rising of the Moon
The very best rendition of this Irish anthem. So many sing out the words with no heart for their meaning. This is rich with understanding and mourning for those brave souls who lost their lives in brave but doomed rebellion. Fuck the English all these years on.
Songs of our freedom and I will add this to itI wonder if anyone in England gets any feeling for what freedom means. Well, now they have the chance, by vote not by war nor domination, to detach themselves from Europe. Well what a surprise to want Independence when all that was about to happen was cooperation.
FREEDOM is a very interesting CONCEPT!!! when ur a child u have none!!!totally dependent on ur adults! whoever they are!!! IF U SURVIVE TO ADULT U ARE NOW DEPENDENT ON UR LIVELYHOOD!!! WHETHER JOB PROFESSION OR BUSINESS!!! TRUE INDEPENDENCE IS
