Boulavogue

(p.j.mccall)

At boulavogue as the sun was setting

O'er bright may meadows of shelmalier

A rebel hand set the heather blazing

And brought the neighbors from far and near.

Then father murphy from old kilcormack

Spurred up the rocks with a warning cry;

"arm! arm!" he cried "for i've come to lead you

For ireland's freedom we fight or die."

He led us on 'gainst the coming soldiers

The cowardly yeomen we put to flight;

'twas at the harrow the boys of wexford

Showed bookey's regiment how men could fight.

Look out for hirelings king george of england

Search every kingdom where breathes a slave

For father murphy of the county wexford

Sweeps o'er the land like a mighty wave.

We took camolin and enniscorthy

And wexford storming drove out our foes;

'twas at slieve coillte our pikes were reeking

With the crimson stream of the beaten yeos.

At tubberneering and ballyellis

Full many a hessian lay in his gore;

Ah father murphy had aid come over

The green flag floated from shore to shore!

At vinegar hill o'er the pleasant slaney

Our heroes vainly stood back to back

And the yeos at tullow took father murphy

And burned his body upon the rack.

God grant you glory brave father murphy

And open heaven to all your men;

The cause that called you may call tomorrow

In another fight for the green again.
