Tullow (Irish: An Tulach, meaning "The Mound", formerly Tulach Ó bhFéidhlim) is a town and village in County Carlow, Ireland. It is located on the River Slaney where the N81 road intersects with the R762.
There is a statue of Father John Murphy, one of the leaders of the 1798 Rebellion, who was captured near Tullow and executed in the Market Square on 2 July. There is a small museum with information about this period and other local history.

There is quote in Brendan Behan's, Borstal Boy that mentions Tullow: "Littlewood was twenty and married. We thought he was as old as the Hills of Tullow."
The town was at one time connected to the Irish railway network, on a branch line from Naas in County Kildare. Tullow railway station opened on 1 June 1886, closed for passenger and goods traffic in 1947 and finally closed on 1 April 1959.
Why'd you do babe
Why'd you do
Well your proof babe is untrue
Why'd you do babe
Why'd you do
Tell me once, tell me twice
I will hear you
We used to be long life
... for you
I can't stand by, live a lie with you
Cause there'll never be another one
Hear my song, hear my voice screamin' help me
I will be on the floor beggin' save me
I'm told remember this man looking for my hand...
But there'll never be another one, so
Why'd you do babe
Why'd you do
Well your proof babe is untrue
Why'd you do babe
Why'd you do
And there won't be another one
I might be,... tell me you want me
Ask you once, used to say do you love me
I could... for you, write for you, die for you
And there'll never be another one, so
Why'd you do babe
Why'd you do
Well your proof babe is untrue
Why'd you do babe
Why'd you do
And there won't be another one
Boy, I can feel your heart bursting through my chest
I can feel your lips running over my neck
Still I hear your lies, these words should not be said
One question I can't get out of my head
Why'd you do babe
Why'd you do
Well your proof babe is untrue
Why'd you do babe
Why'd you do
Well your proof babe is untrue
Why'd you do babe
Why'd you do
Well your proof babe is untrue
Why'd you do babe
Why'd you do
