Blood Axis — Follow Me Up to Carlow lyrics

Lyrics

Lift Mac Cahir Og your face
Brooding o’er the old disgrace
That black Fitzwilliam stormed your place
And drove you to the Fern
Grey said victory was sure
Soon the firebrand he’d secure
Until he met at Glanmalure
Feach Mac Hugh 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 halbert, out with sword
On we go for by the Lord
Feach Mac Hugh has given his word
Follow me up to 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 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 halbert, out with sword
On we go for by the Lord
Feach Mac Hugh has given his word
Follow me up to Carlow
Here we go!
From Tassagart to Clonmore
Flows a stream of Saxon gore
Och, great is Rory Oge O’More
At sending loons to Hades
Whie is sick and Lane is fled
Now for black Fitzwilliam’s head
We’ll send it over, dripping red
To Liza and the 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 halbert, out with sword
On we go for by the Lord
Feach Mac Hugh has given his word
Follow me up to Carlow
Curse and swear Lord Kildare
Feach will do what Feach will dare
Now Fitzwilliam have a care
Fallen is your star low
Up with halbert, out with sword
On we go for by the Lord
Feach Mac Hugh has given his word
Follow me up to Carlow
