COut from many a mud wall cabin
          GEyes were watching through the night
       F               CMany a manly heart was beating
        G               CFor the blessed morning light
CMurmurs rang along the valleys
       GTo the banshee's lonely croon
      F                   CAnd a thousand pikes were flashing
       G             CBy the rising of the moon

           G           CFlew their own beloved green
 C"Death to every foe and traitor!
