The Sash My Father Wore

C
So sure l'm an Ulster Orangeman,
                    Am7
from Erin's isle I came,
    G                   G7
To see my British brethren
         C          Am       C
all of honour and of fame,
        C
And to tell them of my forefathers
                Am       G
who fought in days of yore,
                       G7
That I might have the right to wear
      C        G    C
the sash my father wore!

C
Sure it is old and it is beautiful
                            Am7
and it's colours they are fine,
       G                     G7
it was worn at Derry, Aughrim
C             Am         C
Enniskillen and the Boyne.
Oh me father often wore it as a youth
              Am       G
in the bygone days of yore
                                     G7
and it’s on the twelth I loved to wear
      C        G     C
the sash my father wore.

C
For those brave men who crossed the Boyne,
                             Am7
have not fought or died in vain,
      G                G7
Our Unity, Religion, Laws,
C           Am       C
and Freedom to maintain,
                    Am           G
If the call should come we'll follow the drum,
                           G7
and cross that river once more
      C           G                C
That tomorrow's Ulsterman may wear the sash my father wore!

C
Sure it is old and it is beautiful
                            Am7
and it's colours they are fine,
        G                  G7
it was worn at Derry, Aughrim
      C             Am
Enniskillen and the Boyne.
      C
Oh me father often wore it as a youth
              Am       G
in the bygone days of yore
                                     G7
and it’s on the twelfth I loved to wear
      C      G     C
the sash my father wore.

C
And when some day, across the sea,
                       Am7
to Antrim's shore you come,
       G                        G7
We'll welcome you in royal style,
C              Am       C
to the sound of flute and drum
    Am                   G
And Ulster's hills shall echo still,
                     G7
from Rathlin to Dromore
       C              G                   C
As we sing again the loyal strain of the sash my father wore!
