Follow Me Up To Carlow Lyrics

Lift MacCahir Og your face, brooding o'er the old disgrace when

Black Fitzwilliam stormed your place and drove you to the fern.

Grey said victory was sure soon the firebrand he'd secure

Til 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'll go for by the Lord

Fiach MacHugh has given his word. Follow me up to Carlow.

[Fiddles play A section of "Swallowtail Jig"]

See the swords of Glen Imaal, a flashing o'er the English pale

See all the soldiers of the Gael beneath O'Byrne's banner

Rooster of a fighting stock would yet let the English cock

Cry out upon an Irish rock, fly up and teach him manners.

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'll go for by the LordScythian - Follow Me Up To Carlow - http://motolyrics.com/scythian/follow-me-up-to-carlow-lyrics.html

Fiach MacHugh has given his word. Follow me up to Carlow.

[Intro Instrumental]

[Fiddles play A & B sections of "Swallowtail Jig"]

Now from Tassagart to Clonmore, there flows a stream of Saxon gore

And great is Rory Og O'More at sending loons to Hades

White is sick and Grey has fled, now for Black Fitzwilliam's head

We'll send it over dripping red, to Liza and her ladies

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'll go for by the Lord

Fiach MacHugh has given his word. Follow me up to Carlow.

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'll go for by the Lord

Fiach MacHugh has given his word. Follow me up to Carlow.
