"Follow Me Up to Carlow" is an Irish folk song celebrating the defeat of an army of 3,000 English soldiers by Fiach MacHugh O'Byrne (Fiach Mac Aodh Ó Broin) at the Battle of Glenmalure, during the Second Desmond Rebellion in 1580. The tune was collected by McCall, who heard it being played by musicians in County Wexford in Ireland. It is reputed that this air had been played as a marching tune by the pipers of O'Byrne’s Army during the rebellion.
Performed by the Wolfe Tones in their debut album, The Foggy Dew, 1965.
