One[D] evening fair,as the sun was shining,
Through Kilkenny I did ride,[G]I did[D] meet Captain Brady,
A[A] tall Comander by his side,
[Chorus]Then you are[D] well come Highland Paddy,
By my side you'll surly stand,[G]hear the[D] people shout for freedom,
We'll rise in the morning with the Fenian band,
[A]Rise in the morning with the Fenian band.
[2]
In the morning we rose early,just before the break of day,
Blackbirds singing in the bushes,greeting to the smiling morn.
Gather round free men of Ireland,gather Fenians [ song ] gather round,
Hand to hand with sword and musket,spill the blood upon this holy ground.
[2]
Theres a glen beside the river,just outside Kilkenny town,
There we met this noble captain,men lay dead upon the ground,
[Repeat chorus]
[3]
There's a grave beside the river,a mile outside Kilkennd,
There we laid pur noble captain,birds were silent when this fenian died.
All my life I will remember,I'll remember night and day,
Once I rode into Kilkenny,and I heard this noble captain say.
[Repeat chorus]
