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 Fein
Let the moon shine out tonight along the valley
Where those lads who fought for freedom now are laid
May they rest in peace, those men who died for Ireland
And who fell at Upton Ambush for Sinn Fein
Some were thinking of their mothers, wives and sweethearts
More were thinking of their dear old Irish home
Did they think of how they drilled along the valley
When they marched out from Cork City to their doom
Let the moon shine out tonight along the valley
Where those lads who fought for freedom now are laid
May they rest in peace, those men who died for Ireland
And who fell at Upton Ambush for Sinn Fein
The morning cry rang out, "Fix your bayonets"
And right gallantly they fixed them for the fray
Gallantly they fought and died for dear old Ireland
Round the lonely woods at Upton far away
Let the moon shine out tonight along the valley
Where those lads who fought for freedom now are laid
May they rest in peace, those men who died for Ireland
And who fell at Upton Ambush for Sinn Fein
