1
The moon it shone down on Dublin town
2
When the deadly fight was o'er
3
Thousands lay on the cold, cold ground
4
Their lives to claim no more
5
The moon it shone down in old O'Connell Street
6
Where a dying young rebel lay
7
With his body gashed and his arms outstretched
8
And his life's blood flowing away
9
A passing comrade soon heard the moans
10
The sufferer soon they found
11
Softly, gently they raised his head
12
Up from the cold, cold ground
13
Softly, gently come raised he cried
14
No longer on earth can I stay
15
I will never more roam to my own native home
16
Tipperary, so far away
17
A lock of my hair I pray you take
18
To my mother so dear to me
19
And tell her 'twas here by the Liffey side
20
My mouldering bones do lay
21
For it would grieve your heart
22
To see young men shot down,
23
Their bodies thrown into the sea
24
And a vision of light came before me tonight
25
Of Tipperary so far away
26
The soldiers of Ireland bore him on high
27
On their shoulders with solemm tread
28
And many a heart with tearful sigh
29
Wept over our patriot dead
30
In silence they lowered him into the grave
31
To rest to the reckoning day
32
Sean Treacy who died his home to save
33
In Tipperary so far away
