Boolavogue - The High Kings[00:00:00]
At Boolavogue as the sun was setting[00:00:22]
O'er the bright May meadows of Shelmalier [00:00:27]
A rebel hand set the heather blazing[00:00:33]
And brought the neighbours from far and near [00:00:38]
Then Father Murphy from old Kilcormack [00:00:45]
Spurred up the rock with a warning cry;[00:00:50]
'Arm Arm ' he cried 'for I've come to lead you [00:00:56]
For Ireland's freedom we fight or die '[00:01:02]
He led us on 'gainst the coming soldiers [00:01:17]
And the cowardly Yeomen we put to flight;[00:01:22]
'Twas at the Harrow the boys of Wexford[00:01:28]
Showed Bookey's Regiment how men could fight[00:01:33]
Look out for hirelings King George of England [00:01:40]
Search free kingdom where breathes a slave [00:01:46]
For Father Murphy from the County Wexford[00:01:51]
Sweeps o'er the land like a mighty wave [00:01:56]
At Vinegar Hill o'er the pleasant Slaney [00:02:33]
Our heroes vainly stood back to back [00:02:38]
And the Yeos at Tullow took Father Murphy[00:02:43]
And burned his body upon the rack [00:02:49]
God grant you glory brave Father Murphy[00:02:56]
And open heaven to all your men;[00:03:01]
For the cause that called you may call tomorrow[00:03:07]
In another fight for the Green again[00:03:12]
