[Verse]
Many homes are filled with sorrow and with sadness,
Many hearts are filled with anguish and with pain,
For old Ireland now, she hangs her head in mourning,
For the men who fell at Upton for Sinn Féin.

[Chorus]
Let the moon shine out tonight along the valley,
Where those men who fought for freedom now are lain,
May they rest in peace, those men who died for Ireland,
In the lonely woods of Upton for Sinn Féin.

[Verse]
Some were thinking of their mothers, wives, and sweethearts,
Some were thinking of their dear old Irish homes,
Did they think of how they drilled along the valley,
As they marched out from Cork City to their doom?

[Chorus]
Let the moon shine out tonight along the valley,
Where those men who fought for freedom now are lain,
May they rest in peace, those men who died for Ireland,
In the lonely woods of Upton, far away.
