C         F
1st Verse: At Boulavogue as the sun was setting
         C     Am     D7  F
      O'er bright May meadows of Shelmalier,
      G7 C         F
      A rebel hand set the heather blazing
        C      Am       G7   C
      and brought the neighbours from far and near.
            Em     F
      Then Father Murphy from old Kilcormack
          C   Am      D7
      Spurred up the rocks with a warning cry:
       G7  C             F
      'Arm! Arm!' he cried, 'For I've come to lead you;
        C     Am      G7    C
      For Ireland's freedom we'll fight or die!'

        C           F
 2nd Verse: He led us on 'gainst the coming soldiers,
          C    Am    D7   F
      And the cowardly yeomen we put to flight:
       G7  C         F
      'Twas at the Harrow the boys of Wexford
          C    Am      G7    C
      Showed Bookey's regiment how men could fight.
             Em       F
      Look out for hirelings, King George of England;
          C  Am      D7     F
      Search every kingdom where breathes a slave,
       G7  C       F
      For Father Murphy of County Wexford
          C    Am     G7   C
      Sweeps o'er the land like a mighty wave.

        C        F
3rd Verse: We took Camolin and Enniscorthy
         C   Am       D7   F
      And Wexford storming drove out our foes
       G7   C         F
      'Twas at Slieve Coilte our pikes were reeking
           C    Am      G7   C
      With the crimson blood of the beaten Yeos.
           Em     F
      At Tubberneering and Ballyellis
         C   Am     D7   F
      Full many a Hessian lay in his gore,
      G7 C         F
      Ah! Father Murphy had aid come over
        C     Am      G7    C
      The green flag floated from shore to shore!

        C           F
4th Verse: At Vinegar Hill, o'er the pleasant Slaney
        C   Am      D7   F
      Our heroes vainly stood back to back,
      G7   C          F
      and the Yeos at Tullow took Father Murphy
        C     Am  G7  C
      and burned his body upon a rack.
             Em      F
      God grant you glory, brave Father Murphy
        C  Am    D7    F
      And open Heaven to all your men,
      G7 C             F
      The cause that called you may call tomorrow
        C   Am      G7   C
      In another fight for the Green again.
