Lyrics - Fiach Mchugh by Celtic Folk

FOLLOW
ME
UP
TO
CARLOW ----------------------(author unknown, chords
G
Am will do )
Lift
Mac
Cahir
Og your face, from brooding o'er the old disgrace
When
Black
Fitz
William stormed your place an drove you to thefern o!
Grey said victory was sure, soon the firebrand he'd secure,
Until he met at
Glenmalure, with
Fiach
Mac
Hugh
O'
Byrne
Chorus:
Curse and swear!
Lord
Kildare,
Fiach will do what
Fiach will dare
Now
Fitz
William have a care!
Fallen is your star low!
Up with halberd out with sword!
On we go for by the lord
Fiach
Mac
Hugh has given the word:
Follow me up to
Carlow!
See the swords at
Glen
Imael, flash all o'er the
English
Pale,
See all the children of the
Gael, beneath
O'
Byrne's banners
Rooster of a fighting stock, will you let an
Saxon cock
Cry out upon an
Irish rock,
Fly up and teach him manners!
From
Tassagart to
Clonmore there flows a trail of
English gore,
Well great is
Rory
Og
O'
More, at sending the loons to
Hades
White is sick and
Grey is fled, now for
Black
Fitz
Williams head
We'll send it over dripping red, to
Liza and her ladies
