The Rising of the Moon The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem

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
