Irish ballads - Rising of the moon

And come tell me Sean O'Farrell tell me why you hurry so
Husha buachaill hush and listen and his cheeks were all a glow
I bare orders from the captain get you 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

And come tell me Sean O'Farrell where the gath'rin 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 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 from many a mud wall cabin eyes were watching through the night
Many a manly heart was beating for the blessed warning light
Murmurs rang along the valleys to the banshees 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 that singing river that black mass of men was seen
High above their shining weapons flew their own beloved green
Death to every foe and traitor! Whistle out 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

They won't break me because the desire for freedom, and the freedom of the Irish people, is in my heart. The day will dawn when all the people of Ireland will have the desire for freedom to show. It is then that we will see the rising of the moon. -BOBBY SANDS R.I.P

UP THE RA'

[Arjakszatrija]

Thanks for sharing, even diden't knew that such version exists!

[uscgsar]

its not a matter of race, were all american. this song is about the Irish rebellion of 1798. it has absolutely nothing to do with America or the modern era. Cant we just be proud of our ancestors and not try to relate it to today?

I got a gay friend of mine who is under threats from Fred Phelps and his his bunch

Shirley Phelps has even threatened to kill his dog. My friend said he/she would cut her head off with a hoe.

You don't think I'll react to that.

I guarandamntee ya I would.

Gun is the only way to rule.

If I saw her do that I'd blow her her fucking head off.

You don't kill animals for any reason.
