O yeah - sorry I meant to add Jim Dixon's version is exactly the way I heard it - except for the interpetation of the line "Follow me up to Carlow". His makes more sense, though I wasn't awear of an attack on Carlow having taken place then. Hit the history books and it will confirm what Jim says. "Lift Mac Cahir Og" (meaning young) was the way I was thought the song. So lift your head young man and stop brooding about how Fitzwilliam stole your land and drove you into the ferns (the scrub vegatation in the Mountains). Bang on the way I heard it.
