The Orange & Blue (Tune: The Orange & Blue)

When brethren are met in their orders so grand,
What a beautiful sight for to view,

And my shoes from my feet I did then cast away,
To receive the bright Orange and Blue


Chorus…And my shoes…..

A rumbelling noise just like thunder I heard,

To receive the bright Orange and Blue


Chorus…You would stand…..

A glittering light unto me was revealed,

And I’ll stand by my cause, my religion and laws,
And I’ll die for the Orange and Blue.

Chorus…And I’ll stand…..

Let us join heart and hand and like King William stand,

In defence of the Orange and Blue

Chorus…Let the Boyne…..
