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
Chorus
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 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:
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 the noble Captain
Men lay dead upon the ground
Chorus:
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 when I rode into Kilkenny
And I heard this noble Captain say
Chorus (twice)
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
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 ~
