Oh,
Verse 1
D
C
G
Me mother was a Catholic girl,
D
G
from County Cork came she.
They were married into churches,
C
G
Until the day that I was born,
C
G
Me father, he was or ange,
D
G
C
G
D
and me mother, she was green
C
G
To be made a little or ange man,
C
G
To me father, I was William,
D
G
to me mother, I was Patrick
Old to church then every Sunday,
C
G
Then later on the Orange Lodge,
D
G
they tried to save me soul
For both sides tried to play me,
D
C
but I was smart because I play me,
D
G
Depending where I was in war,
it was the greatest mix -up
G
D
and me mother,
G
C
G
D
G
she was green.
Sometimes I'd sing those revel songs,
C
G
Me father would laugh up and shout,
C
G
To sing about the Irish flute
D
G
or the heralds of the boyn
One day me mam's relations,
C
G
By chance me faddies came,
D
G
were just sitting down to play
While we tried to smooth things over,
C
G
And being strictly neutral,
C
D
Me father he was or ange
G
D
and me mother she
G
C
G
D
was green
C
G
Me learning was all done at home,
D
G
no wonder I'm a fool
Well, they both passed on,
God bless them,
C
G
That awful colour of love
C
G
Me father he was orange
D
G
and me mother she was green
C
G
Oh the orange and the green,
oh the orange and the green
C
G
Me father he was orange
G
C
G
D
green
Thank you.
