[Em]
[D] One [G] may then fare as the sun was shining
To Kerkenny I did [C] ride, [D] I did meet with Captain Brady
Topham and their finest side
Then [G] you are welcome Highland Paddy
By my side you'll surely [C] stand
[D] Hear the people shout for freedom
We'll rise in the morning with the Phenian band
[G] In the morning we'll go early
Just before the break of [C] dawn
[D] Blackbirds singing in the bushes
Greetings to us smiling morn
Now [G] the men and the boys gather
Phenians gather round
[C] [D] Hand to hand with sword and musket
Spill their blood upon the stony ground
Then [G] you are welcome Highland Paddy
By my side you'll surely [C] stand
[D] Hear the people shout for freedom
[G] We'll [D] rise in the morning with the Phenian band
Rise in the morning with the Phenian band
[G] There's a glen beside the river
Just outside your penny town
[D] There I met this noble captain
Men lay dead upon the ground
Then [G] you are welcome Highland Paddy
By my side you'll surely [C] stand
[D] Hear the people shout for freedom
We'll rise in the morning with the Phenian band
[G] There's a grave beside the river
A mile outside your penny town
[C] There [D] we laid our noble captain
Bards were silent when this Phenian died
[G] All my life I will remember
[C] But [G] once I rode [D] into Kilkenny
And I heard this noble captain say
Then [G] you are welcome Highland Paddy
By my side you'll surely [C] stand
[D] Hear the people shout for freedom
We'll rise in the morning with the Phenian band
Rise in the morning with the Phenian band
Then [G] you are welcome Highland Paddy
By my side you'll surely [C] stand
[D] Hear the people shout for freedom
We'll rise in the morning with the Phenian band
Then you [G] are welcome Highland Paddy
By my side you'll surely stand
Hear the people [D] shout for freedom
