[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 of She[Em]lmal[G]ier,
[A]A r[D]e bel h[Bm]and set t[D]he heather b[G]lazing
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
[D]the coming [G]soldiers,
The [D]cowardly [Bm]Yeomen [Em]we
put [G]to [A]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,
Search [D]every [F#m]kingdo[Bm]m
[Em]where breathes [G]a slave,
[A]For [D]Father [Bm]Murphy of the
[D]County [G]Wexford
Sweeps [D]o'er [F#m]the land l[Bm]ike a
[A]mighty [D]wave.[Bm][D][Bm]
We took [D]Camolin and Enniscorthy,
[Bm]And Wexford stormi[D]ng drove
out our foes;
'Twas at [G]Slieve Coillte our
[D]pikes were reeking
With the [Bm]crimson stream [Em]of
[G]the beaten [A]yeo[D]s.
At [Bm]Tubberneering and Ballyellis
Full many a Hessian lay in his gore;
[D]Ah, Father [G]Murphy, had [D]aid come over,
[Bm]The green flag floated from
shore to shore!
[A]At Vinegar Hill, o'er the [D]pleasant Slaney,
Our heroes vainly stood
back to back[F#m],
And the Yeos at Tullow took
[G]Father [Em]Murphy
And [D]burned his body upon
the rack.
God grant you [F#m]glory, brave Father Murphy,
An[Bm]d open Heaven [Em]to
all [G]your [A]men;
The [D]cause that [Bm]called you
[D]may call to[G]morrow
In [D]an other [Bm]fight for the [A]green again.
[D]Rec[A]orded by Gal[D]vin,
