[D] [Bm]
[D] At Boulivau, as the sun was [G]
setting,
[D] O'er the bright [Bm]-made meadows of [C#] [G] Chelm'lir,
[D] A rebel hand set the [G] heather blazing,
[D] And brought [Bm] the neighbours [A] from [D] far and near.
Then [Bm] Father Murphy, [G] from old Kilcarmack,
[D] Spurned up [Bm] the rucks [B] with a [D] warning cry,
Arm, arm, [Bm] he cried, for I come [G] to lead you,
[D] For [Bm] Ireland's freedom [A] we fight [D] or die.

[D] To [Bm] Zad the barrow, [G] the boys of Wexford,
[D] Showed Bucky's regiment [B] how men [D] could fight.
Look out for [Bm] Highlands, [G] King George of England,
[D] Spurned every [Bm] kingdom [E] where [G] breezes stray.
[D] For [Bm] Father Murphy, from the

[D] Sweets o [Bm]'er the land [A] like a [D] mighty wave.

[D] We took Camolin and [G] then a Scarpie,
[D] And [Bm] Wexford's starving [Em] drove out [G] our foes.
[D] To Zadch the quills [G] our pikes were reeking,
[D] For the crimson [Bm] stream [A] of the [D] beaten yew.
[Bm] At Tavnery [G] and Barney, others of [D] many [Bm] Haitian,
[E] Lay in [G] his door.
[D] For [Bm] Father Murphy [G] had aides come over,
[D] The greens [Bm] like lotus [A] from shore [D] to shore.
[Bm]
[D] [Bm]
[D] At Finnegar Hill, o'er the [G] pleasant slaney,
[D] Our [Bm] heroes vainly [Em] stood [G] battle-back.
[D] And the [Bm] oars at Tullow took [G] Father Murphy,
[D] And they burned his body [A] upon [D] the rack.
God grant you glory, [G] brave Father Murphy,

In [D] another [Bm] fight [A] for the [D] green again.
