Oh, then tell me John of Barrow, tell me why you hurry so?� Hush me neighbour hush and listen, and his cheeks were all a-glow,� I bear orders from the captain; get you ready quick and soon,� For the bills must be together at the Rising of the Moon.

Chorus:� At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon� The bills must be together at the rising of the moon

Oh, then tell me John of Barrow, where the gathering is to be?� In the old spot by the river, right well known to you and me� One more word for signal token, whistle up the marching tune.� With your bill upon your shoulder at the rising of the moon

Chorus:� At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon,� With your bill upon your shoulder at the rising of the moon

Out of many a mud wall cottage, eyes were watching through the night,� Many a Marcher's heart was throbbing, for the coming morning light� Murmurs ran along the valley, like the banshees lonely croon� And a thousand bills were flashing at the rising of the moon

Chorus:�At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon,� And a thousand bills were flashing at the rising of the moon

There beside the singing river, that dark mass of men was seen� Far above their shining weapons hung their own beloved green� Death to every foe and traitor, forward strike the marching tune� And hurrah me boys for freedom, 'tis the rising of the moon

Chorus:�At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon,� And hurrah me boys for freedom, at the rising of the moon� At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon,� And hurrah me boys for freedom, at the rising of the moon
