Текст песни Highland Paddy - The Wolfe Tones

One evenin' fair as the sun was shining
To Kilkenny I did ride
I did meet with Captain Brady
A tall commander by his side
Then you are welcome Highland Paddy
By my side you'll surely stand
Hear the people shout for freedom
We'll rise in the morning with the Fenian band
Rise in the morning with the Fenian band
In the morning we rose early
Just before the break of dawn
Blackbirds singing in the bushes
Greetings to a smiling one
Gather round me men of Ireland
Gather Fenians gather round
Hand to hand with sword and musket
Spill their blood upon this holy ground
Then you are welcome Highland Paddy
By my side you'll surely stand
Hear the people shout for freedom
We'll rise in the morning with the Fenian band
Rise in the morning with the Fenian band
There's a glen beside the river
Just outside Kilkenny town
There I met this noble captain
Men lay dead upon the ground
Then you are welcome Highland Paddy
By my side you'll surely stand
Hear the people shout for freedom
We'll rise in the morning with the Fenian band
Rise in the morning with the Fenian band
There's a grave beside the river
A mile outside Kilkenny town
There we laid our noble captain
Birds were silent when this Fenian died
All my life I will remember
I'll remember night and day
Once I rode into Kilkenny
And I heard this noble captain say
Then you are welcome Highland Paddy
By my side you'll surely stand
Hear the people shout for freedom
We'll rise in the morning with the Fenian band
Rise in the morning with the Fenian band
Then you are welcome Highland Paddy
By my side you'll surely stand
Hear the people shout for freedom
We'll rise in the morning with the Fenian band
Rise in the morning with the Fenian band...
