I will be singing this little ditty on the Twelfth of August.

The Sash

Sure I'm an Ulster Orangeman from Erins isle I came
To see my British brethren all of honour and of fame
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

Chorus

Its old but it is beautiful and its colours are so fine
It was worn at Derry Aughrim Enniskillen and the Boyne
My father wore it in his youth in bygone days of yore
And on the twelfth I love to wear the sash my father wore

For those brave men who crossed the Boyne have not fought or died in vain
Our unity, religion, laws and freedoms to maintain
If the call shall come we will follow the drum and cross the river once more
That tomorrows Ulsterman shall wear the sash my father wore

Chorus

And when someday you cross the sea to Antrims shore you come
We will welcome you in royal style to the sound of flute and drum
And Ulsters hills will rattle still from Rathlin to Dromore
As we sing the royal strain to the sash my father wore
