The Sash My Father Wore 
The Sash My Father Wore 
Sure l'm an Ulster Orangeman, from Erin's isle I came, To see my British brethren all of honour and of fame, And to tell them of my forefathers who fought in days of yore, That I might have the right to wear, the sash my father wore! 
cho: It is old but it is beautiful, and its colors they are fine It was worn at Derry, Aughrim, Enniskillen and the Boyne. My father wore it as a youth in bygone days of yore And on the Twelfth I love to wear the sash my father wore 
For those brave men who crossed the Boyne have not fought or died in vain Our Unity, Religion, Laws, and Freedom to maintain, If the call should come we'll follow the drum, and cross that river once
 more That tomorrow's Ulsterman may wear the sash my father wore! 
And when some day, across the sea to Antrim's shore you come, We'll welcome you in royal style, to the sound of flute and drum And Ulster's hills shall echo still, from Rathlin to Dromore As we sing again the loyal strain of the sash my father wore! 
This could well be the best known Orange song From The Orange Lark, published by The Ulster Society
