lyrics

Lift MacCahir Og your face
Broodin’ o’er the old disgrace
That Black Fitzwilliam stormed your place
and took you to the Fern
Grey said victory was sure
Soon the firebrand he’d secure
Until he met at Glenmalure
with Feach McHugh O’Byrne

Curse and swear, Lord Kildare
Feach will do what Feach 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
Feach McHugh has given the word
“Follow me up to Carlow”

See the swords of Glen Imayle
They’re flashing o’er the English Pale
See all the children of the Gael
Beneath O’Byrne’s banners
Rooster of the 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
Feach will do what Feach 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
Feach McHugh has given the word
“Follow me up to Carlow”

From Tassagart to Clonmore
There flows a stream of Saxon gore
Oh, great is Rory Oge O’More
At sending loons to Hades
White is sick and Lane 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
Feach will do what Feach 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
Feach McHugh has given the word
“Follow me up to Carlow”
