[Verse 1]
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,

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!
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse 2]
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!
[Chorus]
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.

Oh me father often wore it as a youth
Am G
in the bygone days of yore

and it’s on the twelfth I loved to wear
C G C
the sash my father wore.
[Verse 2]
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!
