Songtexte The Rising Of The Moon - Tommy Makem , The Clancy Brothers

O come tell me Sean O'Farrell
Tell me why you hurry so?
Hush m'bhuachaill, hush and listen
And his cheeks were all aglow

I have orders from the captain
Make you're ready quick and soon
For the pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon

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
Quite well known to you and me

One word more for signal token
Whistle up the marching tune
With your pike upon your shoulder
By the rising of the moon

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 through the night
Many a manly heart was throbbing
For the coming morning light

Rumours ran along the valley
Like the banshee's lonely croon
And a thousand pikes were flashing
By the rising of the moon

By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
And a thousand pikes were flashing
By the rising of the moon

All along the singing river
That black mass of men was seen
And above their shining weapons
Hung their own beloved green
Death to every foe and traitor!
O excite the marching tune
And Hurrah! me boys for freedom
'Tis the rising of the moon
'Tis the rising of the moon
'Tis the rising of the moon
And Hurrah! me boys for freedom
'Tis the rising of the moon
