"Teacht saggart" i think may be the line instead of tassaggart to clonmor. Teacht saggart is the original name for Saggart co Dublin.

@mrmattquinn You're spot on. It's "Grey is fled", and flee he did. Despite being wickedly outnumbered, Fiach managed to lead the English troops through a pass in Wicklow where his archers were high in the woods looking down. I'm from that part of the country.

why is it called county carlow when the original PRONUNCIATION is Cahher Loch which means Four Lakes or Quadruple Lake?
carlow means nothing.
CAHHER LOCH HAS A MEANING.
USE IT. REVIVE IRISH THIS WAY.

@daveeol I'm only half Irish, and I love the old Rebel songs. The other half is English, so maybe I had 2 sets of ancestors fighting on different sides at Carlow.
Doesn't detract from a good tune though.

you cant beat some elvis
Great song, thanks for posting and putting the lyrics up. By the way, at 1:51 it sounds to me more like "White is sick, Grey is fled, now for black Fitzwilliam's head" (rather than "Lane is fled"). Arthur Grey, 14th Baron Grey de Wilton, led the English force, which did flee. Plus, lyrically you get that nice White, Grey, Black thing going on ...
