Lyrics

[00:06.198] One evening fair as the sun was shining
[00:11.130] To Kilkenny I did ride
[00:13.713] I did meet with Captain Brady
[00:16.454] A tall commander by his side
[00:19.097] Then you are welcome Highland Paddy
[00:24.407] By my side you'll surely stand
[00:27.035] Hear the people shout for freedom
[00:31.173] We'll rise in the morning with the Fenian band
[00:33.965] Rise in the morning with the Fenian band
[00:37.003] In the mornin' we rose early
[00:42.157] Just before the break of dawn
[00:44.567] Blackbirds singing in the bushes
[00:47.356] Greetings to a smiling morn'
[00:50.093] Gather round me men of Ireland
[00:55.277] Gather Fenians gather round
[00:57.797] Hand to hand with sword and musket
[01:00.424] Spill the blood upon this holy ground
[01:03.217] Then you are welcome Highland Paddy
[01:08.551] By my side you'll surely stand
[01:11.193] Hear the people shout for freedom
[01:15.388] We'll rise in the morning with the Fenian band
[01:18.343] Rise in the morning with the Fenian band
[01:21.450] There's a grave beside the river
[01:26.395] A mile outside Kilkenny Town
[01:29.027] There we laid our noble captain
[01:31.560] Birds were silent when this Fenian died
[01:34.628] All my life I will remember
[01:39.702] I'll remember night and day
[01:42.731] That once I rode into Kilkenny
[01:44.836] And I heard this noble captain say
[01:47.767] Then you are welcome Highland Paddy
[01:53.074] By my side you'll surely stand
[01:55.623] Hear the people shout for freedom
[02:00.479] We'll rise in the morning with the Fenian band
[02:02.746] Rise in the morning with the Fenian band
[02:05.693] Then you are welcome Highland Paddy
[02:11.000] By my side you'll surely stand
[02:13.684] Hear the people shout for freedom
[02:17.816] We'll rise in the morning with the Fenian band
[02:20.581] Rise in the morning with the Fenian band
