Follow Me Up To Carlow Lyrics & Chords By Sligo Rags

Lift MacCahir Óg your face brooding o'er 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 Mac Hugh O'Byrne. Curse and swear Lord Kildare Fiach will do what Fiach will dare Now Fitzwilliam, have a care For fallen is your star, low Up with halberd out with sword On we'll go for by the Lord Fiach 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'Byrne's banners Rooster of a fighting stock, would you let a Saxon cock Crow 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 For fallen is your star, low Up with halberd out with sword On we'll go for by the Lord Fiach MacHugh has given the word, Follow me up to Carlow. Curse and swear Lord Kildare Fiach will do what Fiach will dare Now Fitzwilliam, have a care For fallen is your star, low Up with halberd out with sword On we'll go for by the Lord Fiach MacHugh has given the word, Follow me up to Carlow. 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 Liza and her ladies. Curse and swear Lord Kildare Fiach will do what Fiach will dare Now Fitzwilliam, have a care For fallen is your star, low Up with halberd out with sword On we'll go for by the Lord Fiach MacHugh has given the word, Curse and swear Lord Kildare Fiach will do what Fiach will dare Now Fitzwilliam, have a care For fallen is your star, low Up with halberd out with sword On we'll go for by the Lord Fiach MacHugh has given the word, Follow me up to Carlow.
