    A NEW SONG ON THE
  RISEING OF THE MOON

O tell me tell me Shaun O'Farrell why is it
you hurry so
Hush ma ochal hush & en while i cheeks
were in a glow
For our Captain he gave orders to get ready
quick & soon
And to have ourselves in order by the riseing
of the moon

Tell me tell me L ann O'Farrell where the
meeting is to be
the old spot be ide the that's b s known
to ou me
Come y boys be quick get ready come play
up the marching tune
Aurra my boys for Irelands freedom by the
riseing of the moon

It's down beside that lonely a heavy masofmen
were seen
And far abobe our Starry banner wave oe'r our
immortal green
Death to every foe & traitor fotward on the
marchingtune
Hurra my boy for Irelands freedom by the rise
ing of the moon

Out of every mud wall Cabbin eyes were gliste
ing all thet night
And ma ny an honest heart was throbing for
the blessed morning light
Murmurs went along the valley lik the ban
ehees lonely g oom
And a milio of pipers playing by the riseing
o the moon

So w l they fought for poor old Ireland hard &
better was their fate
With a ray of pride & sorrow like the men of
Still there are in poor old Ireland hearts tha
beat boat sound & true
And their footsteps we will follow by the rise
g of the moon
