 Hitzak 

Lift MacCahir Óg 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 Fiach MacHugh O'Byrne.

Bis;
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 the word, 
Follow me up to Carlow!

See the swords of Glen Imall, flashing o'er the English Pale 
See all the children of the Gael, beneath O'Byrne's banners
Rooster of a fighting stock, would you let a Saxon cock
Crow out upon an Irish rock- fly up and teach him manners.

From Tassagart to Clonmore, there flows a stream of Saxon gore
Och, great is Rory Óg O'More, sending the loons to Hades. 
White is sick and Lane is fled, now for black FitzWilliam's head 
We'll send it over, dripping red, to Queen Liza and the ladies.
