Lyrics

[Sounds of Irish Pub] [Banjo intro] [Drop] [Instrumental] [Banjo solo] [Verse] In old Belfast, there stands a house, They call the Rising Sun. And it's been the refuge for many a proud soul, And mine, oh God, I'm one. (Oi-Oi-Oi) My father fought for Ireland, In the Rising Sun so bright. My mother, she prayed for freedom, Underneath the Irish light. [Drop] [Banjo solo] [Verse] Now the only thing a rebel needs, Is courage and a gun. And the only time he feels alive, Is when he fights for freedom won. Oh, mothers, tell your children, To stand up for what's right. To fight for Ireland's glory, In the Rising Sun so bright. [Drop] [Banjo solo] [Irish saxophone solo] (Oi-Oi-Oi) [Drop] [Verse] I'm bound for fields of green and gold, To join the rebel band. I'll raise my voice for Ireland's cause, And make my final stand. [Pre-Chorus] So mothers, tell your children, To remember what's been done. For Ireland's sons will never rest, Until victory's won. (Oi-Oi-Oi) So mothers, tell your children, To remember what's been done. For Ireland's sons will never rest, Until victory's won. [Drop]
