BOULAVOGUE
(P.J.McCall)
D
G
At Boulavogue, as the sun was setting
D
F#m
Bm
Em
G
O'er bright May meadows of Shelmalier,
A
D
Bm
D
G
A re bel 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
D
from old Kilcormack,
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
He led us on 'gainst
D
G
the coming soldiers,
D
Bm
Em
The cowardly Yeomen we
G
A
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
F#m
Bm
Sweeps o'er the land like a
A
D
Bm
D
Bm
mighty wave.
D
We took Camolin and Enniscorthy,
Bm
D
And Wexford storming drove
out our foes;
G
'Twas at Slieve Coillte our
D
pikes were reeking
Bm
Em
With the crimson stream of
G
A
D
the beaten yeos.
Bm
At Tubberneering and Ballyellis
Full many a Hessian lay in his gore;
D
G
D
Ah, Father Murphy, had aid come over,
Bm
The green flag floated from
shore to shore!
A
D
At Vinegar Hill, o'er the pleasant Slaney,
Our heroes vainly stood
F#m
back to back,
And the Yeos at Tullow took
G
Em
Father Murphy
D
And burned his body upon
the rack.
F#m
God grant you glory, brave Father Murphy,
Bm
Em
And open Heaven to
G
A
all your men;
D
Bm
The cause that called you
D
G
may call tomorrow
D
Bm
A
In an other fight for the green again.
