[Verse 1]
[D]BOULAVOGUE[Bm]
(P.J.McCall)
At Boulavogue, as the [D]sun was [G]setting
O'er [D]bright [F#m]May meadow[Bm]s
[Em]of S[G]helm[D]alier,
A rebel [Bm]hand set [D]the heather [G]blazing
An[D]d brought the n[Bm]eighbors
[A]from far and [D]near.
[A]Then [D]Father [F#m]Murphy,
from [G]old [Em]Kilcormack,
[D]Spurred up the [Bm]rocks with a
[Em]warning [G]cry[A];
[D]"Arm! Arm!" he [Bm]cried,
"for [D]I've come to [G]lead you,
For [D]Ireland's [Bm]freedom [A]we fight
or [D]die."[Bm][D][Bm]
He [D]led us [Bm]on 'gainst t[D]he coming so[G]ldiers,
[D]The cowardly [Bm]Yeomen [Em]we
put [G]to [F#m]flight;
[D]'Twas at the [Bm]Harrow [D]the
boys of [G]Wexford
[D]Showed [Bm]Bookey's regiment
how [A]men could [D]fight.
[A]Look [D]out for [F#m]hirelings,
King [G]George of [Em]England,
[D]Search [F#m]every [Bm]kingdom
[Em]where breathes [G]a slave,
[A]For [D]Father [Bm]Murphy of the
[D]County [G]Wexford
Sweeps [D]o'er the [Bm]land like a [A]mighty [D]wave.
We [Bm]took [D]Camolin and Enniscorthy,
[Bm]And Wexford storming drove out our
foes;
'Twas at Slieve Coillte our pikes
were reeking
With the crim[D]son stream of the
beaten yeos.
At Tubberneering and Ballyellis
Full many a [Bm]Hes sian
lay in his gore;
Ah, Father Murphy, had aid come over,
The [D]green flag floated
from shore to shore!
At Vinegar Hill, o'er the pleasant [G]Slaney,
Our [D]heroes [Bm]vainly [Em]stood back to back[G],
[A]And the [D]Yeos [Bm]at Tullow took
[D]Father [G]Murphy
[D]And burned his [Bm]body [A]upon the [D]rack.
God grant you [F#m]glory, brave [G]Father [Em]Murphy,
And [D]open [Bm]Heaven to[Em]
all [Bm]your [G]men[D];
The cause that [Bm]called you
[D]may call to[G]morrow
In [D]an other [Bm]fight for the [A]green again.
