Verse:
G+G       C majorC
Lift MacCahir Og your face
    G+G         D MajorD
You're brooding o'er the old disgrace
   G+G         C majorC
That black FitzWilliam stormed your place
  G+G     C majorC   D MajorD
He drove you to the Fern
G+G       C majorC
Grey said victory was sure
G+G         D MajorD
Soon the firebrand he'd secure;

Until he met at Glenmalure
   G+G   C majorC    D MajorD
With Fiach MacHugh O'Byrne

See the swords of Glen Imayle

They flash all o'er the English pale

See all the children of the Gael
G+G     C majorC    D MajorD
Beneath O'Byrne's banners
G+G       C majorC
Rooster of the fighting stock
G+G        D MajorD
Would you let a Saxon cock
G+G        C majorC
Crow out upon an Irish rock?

Fly up and we'll teach him manners

Oh, great is Rory Oge O'More

At sending loons to Hades

White is sick and Grey is fled

We'll send it over, dripping red

To Liza and her ladies
