House Of Orange Stan Rogers
[Am]I took back [G]my hand, and[F] I showed him t[C]he door
No dollar of [Am]mine would I [Dm]part with this d[F]ay
For f[C]ueling the e[Am]ngine of a b[F]loody cruel [C]war
In my [Am]forefathers' [F]home far aw[G]ay;
Who f[Am]led the first f[G]amine wearing a[F]ll that they [C]owned
Were called n[Am]avigators, all r[Dm]agged and t[F]orn,
And [C]built the grand [Am]trunk here, and f[F]ound a new h[C]ome
Wher[Am]ever their ch[G]ildren were b[C]orn.
Their [Am]sons have no p[G]olitics. [F]None can rec[C]all
Allegiance from [Am]long gener[Dm]ations bef[F]ore
O'thi[C]s or O't[Am]hat name can't m[F]atter at a[C]ll.
Or [Am]be cause enou[F]gh for to w[G]ar.
And[Am] meanwhile, my b[G]abies are sa[F]fe in their h[C]ome
Unlike their pale [Am]cousins who c[Dm]ower and cr[F]y
While kn[C]eecappers na[Am]il their poor d[F]ads to the f[C]loor
And [Am]teach them to[G] hate and to [C]die.
It'[Am]s those cruel b[G]eggars who s[F]purn the fair c[C]oin
The peace for their [Am]kids they could [Dm]take at their wi[F]ll:
Since the d[C]ay old king [Am]Billy prev[F]ailed at the B[C]oyne
They've [Am]bombed and they've m[F]aimed and they've k[G]illed.
Now they [Am]cry out for [G]money, and w[F]ail at the doo[C]r
But home rule or re[Am]public, 'tis [Dm]all of it sh[F]ame;
And a[C] curse for us h[Am]ere who want no[F]thing of w[C]ar.
We'r[Am]e kindred in [G]nothing but n[C]ame.
All[Am] rights and all [G]wrongs have long s[F]ince blown a[C]way,
For causes are a[Am]shes where ch[Dm]ildren lie sl[F]ain.
Yet the d[C]amned U.D[Am].L. and the [F]cruel I.R.[C]A.
Will t[Am]omorrow go mu[F]rdering aga[G]in.
But[Am] no penny of[G] mine will I[F] add to the fra[C]y
"Remember the[Am] Boyne" they will [Dm]cry out in v[F]ain,
For I[C]'ve given my[Am] heart to the p[F]lace I was b[C]orn
And forg[Am]iven the w[F]hole House of O[G]range;
King B[Am]illy and the w[G]hole House of O[C]range.
