Follow Me Up To Carlow lyrics

Lift Mac Cahir Og your face,
from brooding o`er the old disgrace
When Black FitzWilliam stormed
your place an drove you to the
fern o!
Grey said victory was sure,
soon the firebrand he`d secure,
Until he met at Glenmalure,
with Fiach MacHugh O`Byrne
Chorus:
Curse and swear! Lord Kildare,
Fiach will do what Fiach will dare
Now FitzWilliam have a care!
Fallen is your star low!
Up with halberd out with sword!
On we go for by the lord
Fiach MacHugh has given the word:
Follow me up to Carlow!
See the swords at Glen Imael,
flash all o`er the English Pale,
See all the children of the Gael,
beneath O`Byrne`s banners
Rooster of a fighting stock,
will you let an Saxon cock
Cry out upon an Irish rock,
Fly up and teach him manners!
From Tassagart to Clonmore
there flows a trail of English gore,
Well great is Rory Og O`More,
at sending the loons to Hades
White is sick and Grey is fled,
now for Black FitzWilliams head
We`ll send it over dripping red,
to Liza and her ladies
