《The Orange and the Green》歌词

[00:00:00] The Orange and the Green (橙色与绿色) - Wolfe Tones

[00:00:04] Oh my father was an Ulster man

[00:00:06] Proud Protestant was he;

[00:00:08] My mother was a Catholic

[00:00:10] And from County Cork was she

[00:00:12] They were married in two churches

[00:00:14] And lived happily enough;

[00:00:16] Until the day that I was born

[00:00:18] And things got rather tough

[00:00:20] Baptized by Father Reilly

[00:00:22] I was rushed away by car

[00:00:24] To be made a little Orangeman

[00:00:26] My father's shining star

[00:00:28] I was christened David Anthony

[00:00:29] But still in spite of that

[00:00:31] To my father I was Billy

[00:00:33] While my mother called me Pat

[00:00:35] Oh it is the biggest mix-up

[00:00:37] That you have ever seen

[00:00:39] My father was an Orangeman

[00:00:41] My mother she was Green

[00:00:43] With mother every Sunday

[00:00:45] To Mass I'd proudly stroll

[00:00:47] And after that the Orange lads

[00:00:49] Would try to save my soul

[00:00:51] And both sides tried to claim me

[00:00:53] But I was smart because

[00:00:54] I'd play the flute or play

[00:00:56] The harp depending where I was

[00:00:58] And when I'd sing those rebel songs

[00:01:00] Much to my mother's joy

[00:01:02] My father would jump up and say

[00:01:04] "Look here come here me boy

[00:01:06] That's quite enough of that lad

[00:01:08] " he'd toss me o'er a coin

[00:01:10] He'd have me sing "The Orange Flute"

[00:01:12] And "The Heroes of the Boyne "

[00:01:14] Oh it is the biggest mix-up

[00:01:16] That you have ever seen

[00:01:18] My father was an Orangeman

[00:01:20] My mother she was Green

[00:01:26] One day my ma's relations

[00:01:27] Came 'round to visit me

[00:01:29] Just as my father's kinfolk

[00:01:31] Were sitting down to tea;

[00:01:33] We tried to smooth things over;

[00:01:35] They all began to fight

[00:01:37] And me being strictly neutral

[00:01:39] I kicked everyone in sight

[00:01:41] My parents never could agree

[00:01:43] About my type of school

[00:01:45] My learning was all done at home;

[00:01:47] That's why I'm such a fool

[00:01:49] They've both passed on

[00:01:50] God rest them but I was left between

[00:01:52] That awful color problem

[00:01:54] Of the Orange and the Green

[00:01:56] Oh it is the biggest mix-up

[00:01:58] That you have ever seen

[00:02:00] My father was an Orangeman

[00:02:02] My mother she was Green

[00:02:04] Oh it is the biggest mix-up

[00:02:06] That you have ever seen

[00:02:08] My father was an Orangeman

[00:02:10] My mother she was Green
