Subject: RE: Rising of the Moon--when?

Perer,Paul and Mary did a version of this on their album ``See What Tomorrow Brings´´(1965).
They also use a different tune than ``The Wearing of the Green.
The notes I have say........This song relates to the Rebellion of 1798.The air is the Wearing of the Green and the lyrics were written by J.K.Casey(1846-1870) a Fenian from Mullingar.
