[VERSE 1]
[Am]Lift MacCahir [Em]Og your face
[Am]Broodin' o'er the [Cmaj7]old disgrace
That [Am]black FitzWilliam [Em]stormed your place
And [Am]drove you [Cmaj7]to the [Am]Fern
[Am]Grey said vic[Em]tory was sure
[Am]Soon the firebrand [C]he'd secure;
[Am]Until he met at [Em]Glenmalure
With [Am]Fiach Mac[Cmaj7]Hugh O'[Am]Byrne
[CHORUS]
[Em]Curse and swear Lord Kildare
[Cmaj7]Fiach will do what Fiach will dare
[Em]Now FitzWilliam, have a care
[Cmaj7]Fallen is your [Am]star, low
[Em]Up with halberd out with sword
[Cmaj7]On we'll go for by the Lord
[Em]Fiach MacHugh has given the word
[Cmaj7]Follow me up to [D]Carlow
[VERSE 2]
[Am]See the swords of [Em]Glen Imayle
They're [Am]flashing all o'er the [Cmaj7]English pale
See [Am]all the children [Em]of the Gael
Be[Am]neath O'[Cmaj7]Byrne's [Am]banners
[Am]Rooster of the [Em]fighting stock
[Am]Would you let a [C]Saxon cock
[Am]Crow out upon an [Em]Irish rock?
[Am]Fly up and [Cmaj7]teach him [Am]manners
[CHORUS]
[Em]Curse and swear Lord Kildare
[Cmaj7]Fiach will do what Fiach will dare
[Em]Now FitzWilliam, have a care
[Cmaj7]Fallen is your [Am]star, low
[Em]Up with halberd out with sword
[Cmaj7]On we'll go for by the Lord
[Em]Fiach MacHugh has given the word
[Cmaj7]Follow me up to [D]Carlow
[VERSE 3]
[Am]From Tassagart [Em]to Clonmore
There [Am]flows a stream of [Cmaj7]Saxon gore
Oh, [Am]great is Rory [Em]Oge O'More
At [Am]sending the [Cmaj7]loons to [Am]Hades
[Am]White is sick, [Em]Grey is fled
[Am]Now for black Fitz[Cmaj7]William's head
We'll [Am]send it over, [Em]dripping red
To Queen [Am]Liza [Cmaj7]and her [Am]ladies
[CHORUS]
[N.C.]Curse and swear Lord Kildare
Fiach will do what Fiach will dare
Now FitzWilliam, have a care
Fallen is your star, low
Up with halberd out with sword
On we'll go for by the Lord
Fiach MacHugh has given the word
Follow me up to Carlow
[VERSE 4]
[Em]Curse and swear Lord Kildare
[Cmaj7]Fiach will do what Fiach will dare
[Em]Now FitzWilliam, have a care
[Cmaj7]Fallen is your [Am]star, low
[Em]Up with halberd out with sword
[Cmaj7]On we'll go for by the Lord
