Thousands of Catholics going to Orange parades as recently as 1987, or the years immediately prior to that ?!?!?

You sure you're from Norn Iron....?

Cheers for giving the words to the Sash as well, I was getting bored of singing 'One Barry Ferguson' whenever Dundalk fans were in town

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.

Dont you mean Londonderry!!
