[00:00.00]Follow Me Up To Carlow - Aran Folk
[00:04.04]Lift MacCahir Og your face
[00:05.89]You're brooding o'er you're old disgrace
[00:07.75]That black FitzWilliam stormed your place
[00:09.55]He sent you to the Fern
[00:12.27]Grey said victory was sure
[00:14.14]Soon the firebrand he'd secure;
[00:15.98]Until he met at Glenmalure
[00:17.81]With Fiach MacHugh O'Byrne
[00:20.47]Curse and swear Lord Kildare
[00:22.43]Fiach will do what Fiach will dare
[00:24.35]Now FitzWilliam have a care
[00:26.21]Fallen is your star low
[00:28.05]Up with halberd out with sword
[00:29.95]On we'll go for by the lord
[00:34.00]Fiach MacHugh has given the word
[00:35.55]Follow me up to Carlow
[00:38.29]See the swords of Glen Imaal
[00:40.17]A flashing oer the English pale
[00:41.97]See all the soldiers of the
[00:43.61]Gael beneath OByrnes banner
[00:46.88]Rooster of a fighting stock
[00:48.56]Would yet let the English cock
[00:50.46]Cry out upon an Irish rock
[00:52.28]Fly up and teach him manners
[00:55.33]Curse and swear Lord Kildare
[00:57.68]Fiach will do what Fiach will dare
[00:59.15]Now Fitzwilliam have a care
[01:00.90]Fallen is your star low
[01:02.77]Up with Halberd out with sword
[01:04.94]On well go for by the Lord
[01:08.72]Fiach MacHugh has given his word
[01:10.30]Follow me up to Carlow
[01:13.16]Now from Tassagart to Clonmore
[01:14.98]There flows a stream of Saxon gore
[01:16.82]And great is Rory Og OMore
[01:18.68]At sending loons to Hades
[01:21.61]White is sick and Grey has fled
[01:23.56]Now for Black Fitzwilliams head
[01:25.36]Well send it over dripping red
[01:27.07]To Liza and her ladies
[01:30.02]Curse and swear Lord Kildare
[01:32.07]Fiach will do what Fiach will dare
[01:33.95]Now Fitzwilliam have a care
[01:35.83]Fallen is your star low
[01:37.70]Up with Halberd out with sword
[01:39.61]On well go for by the Lord
[01:43.62]Fiach MacHugh has given his word
[01:45.35]Follow me up to Carlow
