BOULAVOGUE
(P.J.McCall)
D
G
At Boulavogue, as the sun was setting
D
F#m
Bm
O'er bright May meadows
Em
G
D
of Shelmalier,
Bm
D
G
A rebel hand set the heather blazing
D
Bm
And brought the neighbors
A
D
from far and near.
A
D
F#m
Then Father Murphy,
G
Em
from old Kilcormack,
D
Bm
Spurred up the rocks with a
Em
G
A
warning cry;
D
Bm
"Arm! Arm!" he cried,
D
G
"for I've come to lead you,
D
Bm
A
For Ireland's freedom we fight
D
Bm
D
Bm
or die."
D
Bm
D
G
He led us on 'gainst the coming soldiers,
D
Bm
Em
The cowardly Yeomen we
G
F#m
put to flight;
D
Bm
D
'Twas at the Harrow the
G
boys of Wexford
D
Bm
Showed Bookey's regiment
A
D
how men could fight.
A
D
F#m
Look out for hirelings,
G
Em
King George of England,
D
F#m
Bm
Search every kingdom
Em
G
where breathes a slave,
A
D
Bm
For Father Murphy of the
D
G
County Wexford
D
Bm
A
D
Sweeps o'er the land like a mighty wave.
Bm
D
We took Camolin and Enniscorthy,
Bm
And Wexford storming drove out our
foes;
'Twas at Slieve Coillte our pikes
were reeking
D
With the crimson stream of the
beaten yeos.
At Tubberneering and Ballyellis
Bm
Full many a Hes sian
lay in his gore;
Ah, Father Murphy, had aid come over,
D
The green flag floated
from shore to shore!
G
At Vinegar Hill, o'er the pleasant Slaney,
D
Bm
Em
G
Our heroes vainly stood back to back,
A
D
Bm
And the Yeos at Tullow took
D
G
Father Murphy
D
Bm
A
D
And burned his body upon the rack.
F#m
G
Em
God grant you glory, brave Father Murphy,
D
Bm
Em
And open Heaven to
Bm
G
D
all your men;
Bm
The cause that called you
D
G
may call tomorrow
D
Bm
A
In another fight for the green again.
D
