follow me up to carlow - james keelaghan lyrics

[verse 1]
lift maccahir óg your face
brooding over the old disgrace
that black fitzwilliam stormed your place
drove you to the fern
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 halbert out with sword
on we’ll go for by the lord
fiach machugh has given the word
follow me up to carlow

[verse 2]
see the swords of glen imaal
they’re flashing over the english pale
see all the childrеn of the gael
benеath o’byrne’s banners
rooster of a fighting stock
would you let a saxon c*ck
crow out upon an irish rock?
fly up and teach him manners
[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 halbert out with sword
on we’ll go for by the lord
fiach machugh has given the word
follow me up to carlow

[verse 3]
from tassagart to clonmore
there flows a stream of saxon gore
o, great is rory óg o’more
at sending the loons to hades
white is sick, grey is fled
now for black fitzwilliam’s head
we’ll send it over dripping red
to queen liza and her ladies
