[Verse 1]CSo sure l'm an Ulster Orangeman,Am7from Erin's isle I came,G G7To see my British brethrenC Am Call of honour and of fame,CAnd to tell them of my forefathersAm Gwho fought in days of yore,G7That I might have the right to wearC G Cthe sash my father wore![Chorus]CSure it is old and it is beautifulAm7and it's colours they are fine,G G7it was worn at Derry, AughrimC Am CEnniskillen and the Boyne.Oh me father often wore it as a youthAm Gin the bygone days of yoreG7and it’s on the twelth I loved to wearC G Cthe sash my father wore.[Verse 2]CFor those brave men who crossed the Boyne,Am7have not fought or died in vain,G G7Our Unity, Religion, Laws,C Am Cand Freedom to maintain,Am GIf the call should come we'll follow the drum,G7and cross that river once moreC G CThat tomorrow's Ulsterman may wear the sash my father wore![Chorus]CSure it is old and it is beautifulAm7and it's colours they are fine,G G7it was worn at Derry, AughrimC AmEnniskillen and the Boyne.COh me father often wore it as a youthAm Gin the bygone days of yoreG7and it’s on the twelfth I loved to wearC G Cthe sash my father wore.[Verse 2]CAnd when some day, across the sea,Am7to Antrim's shore you come,G G7We'll welcome you in royal style,C Am Cto the sound of flute and drumAm GAnd Ulster's hills shall echo still,G7from Rathlin to DromoreC G CAs we sing again the loyal strain of the sash my father wore!
