G
                One evening fair as the sun was shining
		G                       C     G         D       Em
		To Kilkenny I did ride, I did meet with Captain Brady
		  Am             D
		A tall commander by his side


		             G
                Then you are welcome Highland Paddy
		G                               C        G      D         Em
		By my side you'll surely stand, here the people shout for freedom
		      Am                           D
		We'll rise in the morning with the Fenian band
		Am                           D
		Rise in the morning with the Fenian band


                In the morning 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
Chorus

                There's a glen beside the river
		Just outside Kilkenny Town, there we met the noble Captain
		Men lay dead upon the ground

Chorus

                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

Chorus (twice)
