[edit] Alternative Lyrics
Several websites give alternative lyrics. The most popular being as follows:
For its here I am an Orangeman, just come across the sea For singing and for dancing, I hope that I'll please thee, I can sing or dance with any man As I did in days of yore And its on the Twelfth I long to wear the Sash my Father wore.
Chorus
It is old but it is beautiful. Its colours they are fine It was worn at Derry, Aughrim, Enniskillen and the Boyne My Father wore it as a youth in the bygone days of yore And its on the Twelfth I long to wear, the Sash my Father wore.
For it's now I'm going to leave you, good luck to you I'll say And when I'm on the ocean deep, I hope for me you'll pray I'm going to my native land, to a place they call Dromore Where on the Twelfth I long to wear the Sash my Father wore.
Chorus
Whenever I come back again my brethren here to see I hope to find old Orange style, they will always welcome me My favourite tune's "Boyne Water", but to please me more and more And make my Orange heart full glad with the Sash my Father wore.
Chorus.
So Which version is correct ???
[edit] Parody Lyrics
(A popular parody version)
Hash My Father Scored (Michael A. Patterson)
It was gold and it was beautiful and it cost 2 pence a gram He scored it on the ferry coming back from Amsterdam He said it's just like Lebanese from the bygone days of yore And when I can I like to smoke the hash my father scored
That green grass and resin so fine It gives you a feeling divine It would raise both the dying and the living That green grass and resin so fine.
When my father died he left to me his house and all his tin I opened the Good book and found a Kilo stashed within And now when I'm unhappy and sometimes when I'm bored I light a spliff in memory of the hash my father scored
That green grass and resin so fine It gives you a feeling divine It would raise both the dying and the living That green grass and resin so fine.
But now the years have passed and gone and all that hash has flown You can't get stuff like that these days I've even tried home-grown But I can still remember how upward I have soared Outflying British Airways on the hash my father scored
That green grass and resin so fine It gives you a feeling divine It would raise both the dying and the living That green grass and resin so fine.
It was gold and it was beautiful and it cost 2 pence a gram He scored it on the ferry coming back from Amsterdam He said it's just like Lebanese from the bygone days of yore And when I can I like to smoke the hash my father scored
