Ack, I'm being nostalgic today! More old songs that I just remembered! ^_^

Follow me up to Carlow
The Young Dubliners
Lift MacCahir Ogh yer face,
Brooding o'er that old disgrace,
That Black Fitz-Williams stormed your place
and drove ye tae the fern,
Grey said victorie was sure,
soon the Firebrand he secured,
Until he met at Glen Malure,
Feagh McHugh O'Byrne

Curse and swear, Lord Kildare,
Feagh will do what Feagh will dare,
Now Fitz-William have a care,
Fallen is your star, low,
Up with halbert, out with sword,
On we go for by the Lord,
Feagh McHugh has given the word,
Follow me up to Carlow!

From Tassagart to Clonmore,
Flows a stream of saxon gore,
Oh great is Rory Ogh O'More,
at sending loons to Hades,
White is sick and Lane is fled,
Now for Black Fitz-Williams head,
We'll send it over dripping red,
To Liza and her ladies

Curse and swear, Lord Kildare,
Feagh will do what Feagh will dare,
Now Fitz-William have a care,
Fallen is your star, low,
Up with halbert, out with sword,
On we go for by the Lord,
Feagh McHugh has given the word,
Follow me up to Carlow!

See the sword of Imlalay,
flashing o'er the english pale,
See all the children o' the Gael,
Beneath O'Byrnes banner,
Rooster of the fighting stock,
Would ye let a saxon cock,
Crow out upon an Irish rock,
Fly up alld teach him manners

Curse and swear, Lord Kildare,
Feagh will do what Feagh will dare,
Now Fitz-William have a care,
Fallen is your star, low,
Up with halbert, out with sword,
On we go for by the Lord,
Feagh McHugh has given the word,
Follow me up to Carlow!
