eastcoastbear 122 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Orange and Blue When Brethren are met in their Orders so grand, What a beautiful sight for to view. I was ordered to stand, by a brother's command, To receive the bright Orange and Blue. To receive the bright Orange and Blue. In darkness I entered, the Lord He knows where, First bound me in chains it is true; My shoes from my feet I did then cast away, To receive the bright Orange and Blue. A rumbling noise just like thunder I heard, Presented itself to my view, You would stand with amazement to see them proclaim, To receive the bright Orange and Blue. A glittering light unto me was revealed, I became a fresh soul, quite anew; I'll stand by my cause, my religion, and laws, I'll die by the Orange and Blue. What a shameful disgrace on a Lodge it doth bring, To see brethren each other subdue; When hatred and envy profession pursue, Then they fly from the Orange and Blue. Let us join heart and hand, and like William stand, In defending a cause just and true; Let the Boyne be our guide, as our forefathers died In defence of the Orange and Blue.

MacWoodburn 2 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Dolly's Brae 'Twas on the twelfth day of July in the year of '49 Ten hundreds of our Orangemen together did combine, In the memory of King William, on that bright and glorious day To walk all round Lord Roden's park, and over Dolly's Brae. And when we came to Westbridge, wasn't that a glorious sight To see so many Orangemen all willing for to fight, To march all round the old remains, the music sweetly did play, And the tune played was "The Protestant Boys" right over Dolly's Brae. And as we walked along the road not fearing any harm, Our guns all over our shoulders, and our broadswords in our hands, Until two priests came up to us, and to Mr. Speers did say, "Come, turn your men the other road, and don't cross Dolly's Brae . Then out bespeaks our Orangemen, "Indeed we won't delay, You have your men all gathered and in a manger lay. Begone, begone, you Papist dogs, we'll conquer or we'll die And we'll let you see we're not afraid to cross over Dolly's Brae . And when we came to Dolly's Brae they were lined on every side Praying for the Virgin Mary to be their holy guide We loosened our guns upon them and we gave them no time to pray, And the tune we played was "The Protestant Boys" right over Dolly's Brae. The priest he came, his hands he wrung, saying, "My brave boys, you're dead, Some holy water I'll prepare, to sprinkle on your heads," The Pope of Rome he did disown, his heart was grieveful sore, And the Orange cry, as we passed by, was "Dolly's Brae no more!" Come all ye blind-led Papists, wherever that ye be, Never bow down to priest or Pope, for them they will disown; Never bow down to images, for God (you must) adore, Come, join our Orange heroes, and cry "Dolly's Brae no more" . There was a damsel among them all, and one we shall adore, For she wore the Orange around her head and cried "Dolly's Brae no more!" And if they ever come back again, we'll give them ten times more, And we'll christen this "King William's Bridge", and cry "Dolly's Brae no more." Fine post !! Love Dolly's Brae Happy 12th y'all !!!
