O'Byrne Song Follow Me Up To Carlow  - is an Irish folk song celebrating the defeat 3,000 English soldiers by Fiach (Feach) McHugh O'Byrne at the Battle of Glenmalure, during the Second Desmond Rebellion in 1580. It is notable as one of the most graphically violent of all Irish folk songs, containing lines such as " From Tassagart to Clonmore, there flows a steam of Saxon gore... " and " ...now for Black FitzWilliam's head, we'll send it over dripping red, to Queen Liza and her ladies. "
