"Oh! Come tell me, Shawn O'Ferrall, tell me why you hurry so?"
"Hush a bhuachaill, 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 risin' of the moon"

"Oh! Come tell me, Shawn O'Ferrall, where the gatherin' is to be?"
"At the old spot by the river, quite well known to you and me
One more word — for signal token, whistle out the marchin' tune
With your pike upon your shoulder by the risin' of the moon"
By the risin' of the moon, by the risin' of the moon
With your pike upon your shoulder by the risin' of the moon

Out from many a mudwall cabin eyes were watching thro' the night
Many a manly heart was beating for the blessed warning light
Murmurs rang along the valleys to the banshee's lonely croon,
And a thousand pikes were flashing by the risin' of the moon
By the risin' of the moon, by the risin' of the moon
And a thousand pikes were flashing by the risin' of the moon

All along that singing river that black mass of men was seen
High above the shining weapons flew their own beloved green
"Death to ev'ry foe and traitor! Whistle out the marchin' tune
And hurrah, my boys, for freedom! at the risin' of the moon"

By the risin' of the moon, by the risin' of the moon,
For the pikes must be together by the risin' of the moon

By the risin' of the moon, by the risin' of the moon
With your pike upon your shoulder by the risin' of the moon

By the risin' of the moon, by the risin' of the moon
And a thousand pikes were flashing by the risin' of the moon

By the risin' of the moon, by the risin' of the moon,
For the pikes must be together by the risin' of the moon

At the risin' of the moon, at the risin' of the moon
And hurrah my boys for freedom! at is the risin' of the moon
