"Follow Me up to Carlow” is an Irish folk song, celebrating the famous victory of Irish “firebrand” Fiach McHugh O'Byrne and his countrymen, over a much larger force of English troops at the Battle of Glenmalure, which took place in 1580, high in the Wicklow Mountains. Carlow, from the title, was believed to have been an English fortress. Many of these lyrics will be hard to understand at first, even for a native English speaker.
