And in the morning we rose early, just before the break of dawn
Blackbirds singing in the bushes, greeting to a smiling morn
Gather round me men of Ireland, all ye Fenians gather round
Hand to hand with sword and musket, spill the blood upon this holy ground
There is a glen beside the river, just outside Kilkenny town
There we met this noble captain, men lay dying upon the ground
There is a grave down by the river, a mile outside Kilkenny town
There we laid our noble Captain, birds were silent when this Fenian died
For all my life I will remember, I’ll remember night and day
That once I rode into Kilkenny, and I heard this noble captain say
