Follow Me up to Carlow |
| FOLLOW ME UP TO CARLOW |
| (author unknown, chords G Am will do) |
| 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 |
| 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 |
