Bardic - Follow Me Up To Carlow
текст песни

Lift MacCahir O'er your face, brooding O'er the old disgrace when
Black Fitzwilliam stormed your place and drove you to the fern.
Grey said victory was sure, soon the firebrand hed secure
Til he met at Glenmalure with Fiach MacHugh OByrne

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 well go for by the Lord
Fiach MacHugh has given the word. Follow me up to Carlow.

[fiddles play A section of Swallowtail Jig]

See the swords of Glen Imaal, a flashing oer the English pale
See all the Children of the Gael beneath OByrnes banner
Rooster of a fighting stock would yet let the Saxon cock
Cry out upon an Irish rock, fly up and teach him manners.

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 well go for by the Lord
Fiach MacHugh has given the word. Follow me up to Carlow.

[Intro Instrumental]
[fiddles play A section of Swallowtail Jig]

Now from Tassagart to Clonmore, there flows a stream of Saxon gore
And great is Rory Og OMore at sending loons to Hades
White is sick and Grey has fled, now for Black Fitzwilliams head
Well send it over dripping red, to Queen Liza and her ladies

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 well go for by the Lord
Fiach MacHugh has given the word. Follow me up to Carlow.
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 well go for by the Lord
Fiach MacHugh has given the word. Follow me up to Carlow.
