The Sash

[AsDeadAsDillinger]

"Poor cropies ye know that your sentence was come

when ye heard the dread sound of the Protestant Drum

In memory of William we hoisted his Flag

and soon the bright Orange put down the green rag

down, down, cropies, lie down"

I think this one is from about 1798 (-ish)

I don't know what this one is called but is it older than 'The Sash' ?

@AsDeadAsDillinger I think so, the tune of The Sash is about 160 years old and the words appeared 120 odd years ago. So that one would be older.

Sure l'm an Ulster Orangeman, from Erin's isle I came,

To see my British brethren all of honour and of fame,

And to tell them of my forefathers who fought in days of yore,

That I might have the right to wear, the sash my father wore!

cho: It is old but it is beautiful, and its colors they are fine It was worn at Derry, Aughrim, Enniskillen and the Boyne. My father wore it as a youth in bygone days of yore And on the Twelfth I love to wear the sash my father wore
