Boulavogue

Boulavogue - The Clancy Brothers

At Boulavogue

As the sun was setting

Other bright May meadows of Shelmalier

A rebel hand set the heather blazing

And brought the neighbors from far and near

Then Father Murphy

From old Kilcormack

Spurred up the rocks with a warning cry

Arm Arm he cried

For I've come to lead you

For Ireland's freedom we fight or die

He led us on against the coming soldiers

The cowardly Yeomen we put to flight

Twas at the Harrow the boys of Wexford

Showed Bookey's regiment how men could fight

Look out for hirelings

King George of England

Search every kingdom that breathes a slave

For Father Murphy from the County Wexford

Sweeps other the land like a mighty wave

Camolin and Enniscorthy

On the pleasant Slaney

Our heroes vainly stood back to back

And the Yeos at Tullow took Father Murphy

And burned his body upon the rack

God grant you glory

Brave Father Murphy

And open Heaven to all your men

The cause that called you may call tomorrow

In another fight for the green again
