  1. The Rising of The Sun
    Unite again brave Irish men, dont let
    your courage fall.
    Your Mother land is waiting, Step forward
    to her call
    She lost some noble heroes, whose names
    we mention here
    Lyons, Welsh, and Dalton, for them we shed a tear
    They were out to free their country, with
    spirits light and gay

    pistol or no gun
    When murdered by the British Gang
