The Green Grassy Slopes Of The Boyne

Press The Jukebox To Play The Tune

VERSE ONE

Some folk sing of mountains and valleys,

Were the wild flowers abundantly grow,

And some of the foam crested billows,

That search in the waters below,

But I'm going to sing of a river,

And I hope in the chorus you will join,

Of the deeds that were done by King William,

On the Green Grassy slopes Of the Boyne,

 

CHORUS

On the Green Grassy Slopes Of The Boyne

Were the Orangemen with William did join

And they fought for our Glorious deliverance

On the Green Grassy slopes of the Boyne.

 

VERSE TWO

On the banks of that beautiful river,

There the bones of our forefathers lie,

Awaiting the sounds of the trumpets,

That call them to glory on high,

In our hearts we will treasure their memories,

And in one common Brotherhood join,

And praise God who sends us King William,

To the green grassy slopes of the Boyne,

 

CHORUS

 

VERSE TWO

Then Orangemen be Loyal and steady,

No matter what e're may be tide,

There's nothing can make us discouraged,

So long as we've got God for our guide,

If ever our services are needed,

I hope like true Brethren you'll join

And fight like our fathers before us,

On the green grassy slopes of the Boyne,

 

LAST CHORUS

Then Orangemen remember King William,

And your fathers who with him did join,

And fought for our glorious deliverance,

On the Green Grassy Slopes Of The Boyne.
