Recording of Rising of the Moon in Regensburg. We hope you like this Video


And come tell me Sean O'Farrell, tell me why you hurry so
Hush a bhuachaill, hush and listen and his cheeks were all aglow
I bear orders from the captain, get you ready quick and soon
For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon



At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon
For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon


And come tell me Sean O'Farrell, where the gathering 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 marching tune

With your pike upon your shoulder at the rising of the moon



At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon
With your pike upon your shoulder at the rising of the moon



Out from many a mud walled cabin eyes were watching through the night
Many a manly heart was beating for the blessed morning's light
Murmurs ran along the valley to 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 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 hoorah me boys for freedom 'tis the rising of the moon



'Tis the rising of the moon, 'tis the rising of the moon
And hoorah me boys for freedom 'tis the rising of the moon
