Lift MacCahir รg your face brooding o'er 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 Feach MacHugh O'Byrne
Curse and swear Lord Kildare
Feach will do what Feach 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
Feach MacHugh has given the word
Follow me up to Carlow
See the swords of Glen Imayle, flashing o'er the English pale
See all the children of the Gael, beneath O'Byrne's banners
Rooster of the fighting stock, would you let an English cock
Crow out upon an Irish rock, fly up and teach him manners?
Curse and swear Lord Kildare
Feach will do what Feach 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
Feach MacHugh was given the word
Follow me up to Carlow
ย
From Tassagart to Clonmore, there flows a stream of Saxon gore
Oh, great is Rory Oge O'More sending loons to Hades
White is sick and Grey is fled, now for black Fitzwilliam's head
We'll send it over, dripping red, to Liza and her ladies
Curse and swear Lord Kildare
Feach will do what Feach 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
Feach MacHugh has given the word
Follow me up to Carlow!
Curse and swear, Lord Kildare
Feach will do what Feach 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
Feach MacHugh has given the word
Follow me up to Carlow
