Come don your
Sash and bowler black and join the great parade,
We're on our way to celebrate 1688,
And better still and mores the thrill,
Just two years further on,
When William Prince of Orange won the Battle of the Boyne.
Chorus.
So raise the Crimson Banner high,
It flies for you and me,
And signifys the reason,
Why we're British and we're free.
Now sound the flute and strike
the drum,
Lets hear the cymbals clash,
And play again 'old Derrys walls, Garvagh and the Sash,
As on we march we'll proudly tell in story and in song,
How William Prince of Orange won the Battle of the Boyne.
Chorus.
Brave Schomberg, Ormond, Sidney,
Solnes, Prince George and Conningsby,
They took the bridge of Slane, Duleek and Drohgeda that day,
The neath bank bristled bright with pikes as Ulstermen charged on,
And William Prince of Orange won the Battle of the Boyne.
Chorus.
Come don your Sash and bowler
black and join the great parade,
We're on our way to celebrate 1688,
And better still and mores the thrill,
Just two years further on,
When William Prince of Orange won the Battle of the Boyne.
