Follow Me Up To Carlow Song Lyrics & Chords In The Key Of Am

[Am] Lift MacCahir[Em] Og your face[Am] brooding o'er the[Em] old disgrace
That[Am] black FitzWilliam[Em] stormed your place, [C]drove you to the[Am] Fern
[Am]Grey said victor[Em]y was sure[Am] soon the firebrand[Em he'd secure;
Un[Am]til he met at[Em] Glenmalure with[C] Feach MacHugh O'[Am]Byrne.

Ch.:[Em] Curse and swear Lord Kildare
[G]Feagh will do what Feach will dare
[EmNow FitzWilliam, have a care
[G]Fallen is your[Am] star, low
[Em]Up with halbert out with sword
On[G] we'll go for by the lord
[Em]Feach MacHugh has given the word,
[G]Follow me up to[Am] 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 the fighting stock, would you let a Saxon cock
Crow out upon an Irish rock, fly up and teach him manners.

Ch.:[Em] Curse and swear Lord Kildare
[G]Feagh will do what Feach will dare
[EmNow FitzWilliam, have a care
[G]Fallen is your[Am] star, low
[Em]Up with halbert out with sword
On[G] we'll go for by the lord
[Em]Feach MacHugh has given the word,
[G]Follow me up to[Am] Carlow.

England’s power and pomp shall feel
Ireland’s justly vengeful steel,
While Fiach MacAodha is loath to kneel
Before a Tyrant’s throne!
The glen once more’s a battle-field:
Baile na Corra they’ll never yield!
Shield, blade and axe and spear they’ll wield
Until the day is won!

​When Faith in Ireland mattered most,
James Baltlinglas joined Fiach’s host:
Then roused from slumber was the ghost
Of Art MacMurchadh-Caomhánach!
Six-thousand men that marched with Grey,
Like Colonel Moore, would find that day
Keen hidden Kerns who’d hack away
To quicken them back to Ráth Droma!

From Tassagart to Clonmore, there flows a stream of Saxon gore
Och, great is Rory Oge O'More, sending the loons to Hades.
White is sick and Lane is fled, now for black FitzWilliam's head
We'll send it over, dripping red, to Queen Liza and the ladies
