Stan Rogers - House of Orange
CREDIT GOES TO: Gary Hine
AmI took back Gmy hand, andF I showed him tChe door
No dollar of Ammine would I Dmpart with this dFay
For fCueling the eAmngine of a bFloody cruel Cwar
In my Amforefathers' Fhome far awGay;
Who fAmled the first fGamine wearing aFll that they Cowned
Were called nAmavigators, all rDmagged and tForn,
And Cbuilt the grand Amtrunk here, and fFound a new hCome
WherAmever their chGildren were bCorn.
Their Amsons have no pGolitics. FNone can recCall
Allegiance from Amlong generDmations befFore
O'thiCs or O'tAmhat name can't mFatter at aCll.
Or Ambe cause enouFgh for to wGar.
AndAm meanwhile, my bGabies are saFfe in their hCome
Unlike their pale Amcousins who cDmower and crFy
While knCeecappers naAmil their poor dFads to the fCloor
And Amteach them toG hate and to Cdie.
It'Ams those cruel bGeggars who sFpurn the fair cCoin
The peace for their Amkids they could Dmtake at their wiFll:
Since the dCay old king AmBilly prevFailed at the BCoyne
They've Ambombed and they've mFaimed and they've kGilled.
Now they Amcry out for Gmoney, and wFail at the dooCr
But home rule or reAmpublic, 'tis Dmall of it shFame;
And aC curse for us hAmere who want noFthing of wCar.
We'rAme kindred in Gnothing but nCame.
AllAm rights and all Gwrongs have long sFince blown aCway,
For causes are aAmshes where chDmildren lie slFain.
Yet the dCamned U.DAm.L. and the Fcruel I.R.CA.
Will tAmomorrow go muFrdering agaGin.
ButAm no penny ofG mine will IF add to the fraCy
"RemembeAmr the Boyne" Dmthey will crFy out in vain,
For IC've given myAm heart to the pFlace I was bCorn
And forgAmiven the wFhole House of OGrange;
King BAmilly and the wGhole House of OCrange.
