Verse:
G C
Lift MacCahir Og your face
G D
You're brooding o'er the old disgrace
G C
That black FitzWilliam stormed your place
G C D
He drove you to the Fern
G C
Grey said victory was sure
G D
Soon the firebrand he'd secure;
G C
Until he met at Glenmalure
G C D
With Fiach MacHugh O'Byrne
Chorus:
D C
Curse and swear Lord Kildare
D G
Fiach will do what Fiach will dare
D C
Now FitzWilliam, have a care
A G
Fallen is your star, low
D C
Up with halberd out with sword
D G
On we'll go for by the lord
D C
Fiach MacHugh has given the word
A G
Follow me up to Carlow
Verse:
G C
See the swords of Glen Imayle
G D
They flash all o'er the English pale
G C
See all the children of the Gael
G C D
Beneath O'Byrne's banners
G C
Rooster of the fighting stock
G D
Would you let a Saxon cock
G C
Crow out upon an Irish rock?
G C D
Fly up and we'll teach him manners
Chorus:
D C
Curse and swear Lord Kildare
D G
Fiach will do what Fiach will dare
D C
Now Fitz William, have a care

Fallen is your star, low

On we'll go for by the lord

Fiach MacHugh has given the word

Follow me up to Carlow
Verse:
G C
From Tassagart to Clonmore
G D
There flows a stream of Saxon gore
G C
Oh, great is Rory Oge O'More
G C D
At sending loons to Hades
G D
White is sick and Grey is fled
G D
And now for black FitzWilliam's head
G C
We'll send it over, dripping red
G C D
To Liza and her ladies
Chorus:
D C
Curse and swear Lord Kildare
D G
Fiach will do what Fiach will dare

Follow me up to Carlow
