COut from many a mud wall cabin
Eyes were Gwatching through the night
Many a Fmanly heart was Cbeating
For the Gblessed morning Clight
CMurmurs rang along the valleys
To the Gbanshee's lonely croon
And a Fthousand pikes were Cflashing
By the Grising of the Cmoon

CBy the rising of the moon
By the Grising of the moon
And a Fthousand pikes were Cflashing
By the Grising of the Cmoon

CAll along that singing river
That black Gmass of men were seen
High aFbove their shining Cweapons
Flew their Gown beloved Cgreen
"CDeath to every foe and traitor!
Whistle Gout the marching tune
And 'FHurrah', my boy for Cfreedom
At the Grising of the Cmoon"

And a Fthousand pikes were Cflashing
By the Grising of the Cmoon
