Lift, McCahir Og, your face Brooding o're the old disgrace? That Black Fitzwilliam stormed your place And drove you to the Fern Gray said victory was sure And 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 his word Follow me up to Carlow See the swords of Glen Imayle Flashing o're the English pale See all the children of the Gael Beneath O'Byrne's banners Roosters of the fighting stock Would you let a Saxon cock Crow 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 we'll go for by the lord Fiach MacHugh has given his word Follow me up to Carlow From Tassagart to Clonmore There flows a stream of Saxon gore O great is Rory Og Omore Sending loons to Hades White is sick and Grey had fled And now for Black Fitzwilliams head We'll 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 we'll go for by the lord Fiach MacHugh has given his word Follow me up to Carlow
