Follow Me Up To Carlow Chords & Lyrics - Christy Moore

L [Am]ift[G] Mac Cahir Og your face, broodin' o'er the o ld disgrace
Th[Am]at [G] b[Am]lack Fitzwilliam stormed your place & drove you to the f ern
[Am]Gra[G]y said victory was sure, soon the firebrand h e'd secure
[Am]Unt[Am]il [G]he[Am] met at Glenmalure with F iach Mc Hugh O'B yrne

[CHORUS]
[Em]Cur[G]se and swear, Lord Kildare, F iach will do what Fiach will dare
[Em]Now[G] F[Am]itzwilliam, have a care, fa llen is your s tar low
[Em]Up [G]with halberd, out with sword, on we go for, by the Lord
[Em]Fia[G]ch[Am] McHugh has given the word "Follow me up to Carlow"

See the swords at Glen Imaal, flashin' o'er the english pale
See all the children of the Gael, beneath O'Byrne's banner
Rooster of a fighting stock, would you let a Saxon cock
Crow out upon an Irish Rock, fly up and teach him manners

[CHORUS]

From Tassagart to Clonmore, flows a stream of Saxon gore
How great is Rory Og O'Moore at sending loons to Hades
White is sick, Gray is fled, now for black Fitzwilliam's head
We'll send it over, dripping red, to Liza and her ladies

[CHORUS]
