Текст песни: Highland Paddy + перевод

One evening fair as the sun was shining

To Kilkenny I did ride

I did meet with Captain Brady

A tall commander by his side

Then you are welcome Highland Paddy

By my side you’ll surely stand

Hear the people shout for freedom

We’ll rise in the morning with the Fenian band

Rise in the morning with the Fenian band

In the mornin' we rose early

Just before the break of dawn

Blackbirds singing in the bushes

Greetings to a smiling morn'

Gather round me men of Ireland

Gather Fenians gather round

Hand to hand with sword and musket

Spill the blood upon this holy ground

Then you are welcome Highland Paddy

By my side you’ll surely stand

Hear the people shout for freedom

We’ll rise in the morning with the Fenian band

Rise in the morning with the Fenian band

There’s a glen beside the river

Just outside Kilkenny Town

There we met this noble captain

Men lay dead upon the ground

Then you are welcome Highland Paddy

By my side you’ll surely stand

Hear the people shout for freedom

We’ll rise in the morning with the Fenian band

Rise in the morning with the Fenian band

There’s a grave beside the river

A mile outside Kilkenny Town

There we laid our noble captain

Birds were silent when this Fenian died

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

Then you are welcome Highland Paddy

By my side you’ll surely stand

Hear the people shout for freedom

We’ll rise in the morning with the Fenian band

Rise in the morning with the Fenian band
