    Does anyone know an old Irish ballad that begins with the line 'May your moon shine out tonight across the valley, and if so what is the actual title of the song?

    Question #27370. Asked by oldie.

    THE LONELY WOODS OF UPTON

    Many homes are filled sorrow and with sadness
    Many hearts are filled with anguish and with pain
    And old Ireland now she hangs her head in sorrow
    For the men who died at Upton for Sinn F%E9in

    Let the moon shine out tonight along the valley
    Where those heroes of Sinn F%E9in in ambush fell
    May they rest in peace those men who died for Ireland
    In the lonely woods of Upton far away

    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
    When they marched out from Cork City to their doom

    The warning cry rang out: 'Fix your bayonnets'
    And those gallant lads they fixed them for the fray
    Gallantly they fought and died for dear old Ireland
    In the lonely woods of Upton far away
