Oh come tell me Sean O'Farrell

D
Out from many a mud wall cabin

D         A
Eyes were watching through the night

       G               D
Many a manly heart was beating

D       A               D
For the blessed warning light

D
Murmurs rang along the valleys

D      A
To the banshees' lonely croon,

       G                  D
And a thousand pikes were flashing

By the rising of the moon.

D
All along that singing river

D          A
That black mass of men was seen;

     G                   D
High above their shining weapons,

D          A           D
Flew their own beloved green.

D
Death to every foe and traitor!

D       A
Whistle out the marching tune!

    G                    D
And hurrah, me boys, for freedom,

'Tis the rising of the moon!
