Follow Me Up to Carlow

歌詞

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 Lord Fiach MacHugh has given his word. Follow me up to Carlow. [Intro Instrumental] [fiddles play A section 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.
