The Four Green Fields Lyrics
Follow Me Up To Carlow - Aran Folk
Lift MacCahir Og your face
You're brooding o'er you're old disgrace
That black FitzWilliam stormed your place
He sent 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
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
See the swords of Glen Imaal
A flashing oer the English pale
See all the soldiers of the
Gael beneath OByrnes banner
Rooster of a fighting stock
Would yet let the English 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 his word
Follow me up to Carlow
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 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 his word
Follow me up to Carlow
