Lyrics

[Verse 1] Lift MacCahir Óg your face Brooding over the old disgrace That black Fitzwilliam stormed your place Drove you to the Fern Grey said victory was sure Soon the firebrand he'd secure Until he met at Glenmalure With Fiach MacHugh O'Byrne [Chorus] Curse and swear Lord Kildare Fiach will do what Fiach will dare Now Fitzwilliam, have a care Fallen is your star, low Up with halbert out with sword On we'll go for by the Lord Fiach MacHugh has given the word Follow me up to Carlow [Verse 2] See the swords of Glen Imaal They're flashing over the English Pale See all the childrеn of the Gael Benеath O'Byrne's banners Rooster of a fighting stock Would you let a Saxon cock Crow out upon an Irish rock? Fly up and teach him manners [Chorus] Curse and swear Lord Kildare Fiach will do what Fiach will dare Now Fitzwilliam, have a care Fallen is your star, low Up with halbert out with sword On we'll go for by the Lord Fiach MacHugh has given the word Follow me up to Carlow [Verse 3] From Tassagart to Clonmore There flows a stream of Saxon gore O, great is Rory Óg O'More At sending the loons to Hades White is sick, Grey is fled Now for black Fitzwilliam's head We'll send it over dripping red To Queen Liza and her ladies [Chorus] Curse and swear Lord Kildare Fiach will do what Fiach will dare Now Fitzwilliam, have a care Fallen is your star, low Up with halbert out with sword On we'll go for by the Lord Fiach MacHugh has given the word Follow me up to Carlow [Instrumental - Morrison's Jig]
