Follow Me Up to Carlow lyrics

Lift MacCahir Og your face brooding o'er the old disgrace That black FitzWillian stormed your place, drove you to the Fern Grey said victory was sure soon the firebrand he'd secure; Until he met at Gleanmalure with Feach MacHugh O'Byrne Curse and swear Lord Kildare Feagh will do what Feach will dare Now FitzWllian have a care Fallen is your star, low Up will Halbert out with sword On we'll go for by the lord Feach MacHugh has given the word, Follow me up to Carlow See the swords of Glen Imayle, flashing o'er the English Pale See all the children of the Gael, beneath O'Byrnes's banners Rooster of the lighting stock, would you let a Saxon cock Crow out upon an Irish rock, fly up ant teach him manners Curse and swear Lord Kildare Feagh will do what Feach will dare Now FitzWllian have a care Fallen is your star, low Up will Halbert out with sword On we'll go for by the lord Feach MacHugh has given the word, Follow me up to Carlow From Tassagard to Clonmore, there flows a stream of Saxon gore Och, great is Rory Oge O'More, sendind the loons to Hades White is sick and Lane is fled, now for black FitzWillian' head We'll send it over, drippind red, to Queen Liza and her ladies Curse and swear Lord Kildare Feagh will do what Feach will dare Now FitzWllian have a care Fallen is your star, low Up will Halbert out with sword On we'll go for by the lord Feach MacHugh has given the word, Follow me up to Carlow
