The thing I love about this song is if you change the gender roles around it's about me

Patrick William Mac Manus.

my cousin also is David Anthony

[josparkes1]

Jolly and nice !

[lukessummer]

Come pledge again your heart and your hand

One grasp that never will sever

Our password be our native land

Our motto, love forever

And let the orange lily be

Your badge, my patriot brother

It's the everlasting green for me

And we for one another

[lukessummer]

Behold how green the gallant stem

On which the flower is blooming

How in one heavenly breeze and beam

Both flower and stem are glowing

The same good soil sustaining both

Makes both united flourish

But cannot give the orange growth

And cease the green to nourish

[lukessummer]

The more the hand that plucks that flower

Will vainly strive to cherish

In that hour the stem blooms on

The flower, it begins to perish

Regard them then of equal worth

While last their genial weather

The time's at hand when deep in earth

They will both sink together

[lukessummer]

And though it be in our country's cause

Our party feelings blended

'Til lasting peace from equal laws

On both will have descended

'Til then,let the orange lily be

Your badge my patriot brother

It's the everlasting green for me

And we for one another

And we for one another

[lukessummer]

And though it be in our country's cause

Our party feelings blended

'Til lasting peace from equal laws

On both will have descended

'Til then, let the orange lily be,

Your badge my patriot brother

I LOVE THIS VERSION

[SillyWizard]

Glad you enjoyed :)

[HaulAwayJoe]

This is a great version! The only thing I wonder is why everyone is so far away from the stage.

[SillyWizard]

It was a family day event and all the games are at the other end of the field.

[BarbaShime]

@SillyWizard Oh my, that was so inspiring for the band!

[theovdhurk]

I find most canadian groups leave out versus. The rebel songs/heros of the boyne verse in the case.

[Xequ]

Thats the exact same situation as me! My family don't mind at all!

[Rosiercentral]

This is the absolute truth. Well, for me, that is. My mother is a Methodist (which I'm baptised as) and my father's a Catholic. You should've seen the faces when my relatives over in Ireland were told he had married a Protestant! I wish I had(wasn't born yet).

[southerngooner]

mint version! tis songs too true lol

[audacity316]

I'll tell you now, I loved the version by the Irish Rovers, but you matched it very closely. It's wonderful.

[SillyWizard]

Thanks, glad you liked it :)

[MikeBatten]

I love that Tune! i have the version by the Dubliners on a CD i recently purchased! Good sound guys, i'd love to hear you in person! come to georgestreet!!!

[newfiefiddler]

This is one of my favorite sing-a-long songs at the pubs.

[eugened307]

great! i have heard this live here in Ireland, in a dark dirty bar which no-one had left in 3 days and was just mad craic!! shame about the crowd there :(

[SillyWizard]

Ya thanks for the comment, we enjoy playing that tune. In regards to the crowd, it was family day and all the games were up at the other end of the field, we were just hired for background music. The crowd still enjoyed and we had a blast. :)
