Follow Me Up To Carlow
Well lift, MacCahir Og, your face
You're brooding o'er your old disgrace
And then Fitzwilliam stormed your place
He sent you to the Fern, hey!
And Grey said victory was sure
Soon the firebrand he'd secure
Until he met at Glenmalure
With Fiach MacHugh O'Byrne
Curse and swear Lord Kildare
Fiach will do what Fiach will dare
Tell 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 the word
Follow me up to Carlow
From Tassagart to Clonmore
There streams a flow of Saxon gore
Oh, great Rory Oge O'More
Sendin' fools to Hades, hey!
White is sick and Grey is fled
We'll steal poor black Fitzwilliam's head
We'll send it over, drippin' red
For Liza and her ladies
Curse and swear Lord Kildare
Fiach will do what Fiach will dare
Tell 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 the word
Follow me up to Carlow
See the swords of Glen Imayle
They flash all o'er the English pale
See all the children of the Gael
Beneath O'Byrne's banner, hey!
Rooster of a fightin' stock
Now would you let a Saxon cock
Crow out upon an Irish rock?
Fly up, and we'll teach him manners
Curse and swear Lord Kildare
Fiach will do what Fiach will dare
Tell 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 the word
Follow me up to Carlow
Curse and swear Lord Kildare
Fiach will do what Fiach will dare
Tell 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 the word
Follow me up to Carlow
You're brooding o'er your old disgrace
And then Fitzwilliam stormed your place
He sent you to the Fern, hey!
And Grey said victory was sure
Soon the firebrand he'd secure
Until he met at Glenmalure

Curse and swear Lord Kildare
Fiach will do what Fiach will dare
Tell Fitzwilliam, have a care
Fallen is your star, low
Up with halberd, out with sword
On we'll go, for by the Lord
