Here I am a loyal Orangeman
Just come across the sea
For singing and for dancing
I hope I will please thee
I can sing or dance with any man
As I did in days of yore
And on the Twelfth I love to wear
The sash my father wore
It's old but it is beautiful
Its colours they are fine
It was worn at 'Derry, Aughrim
Enniskillen and the Boyne
My father wore it when a youth
In bygone days of yore
And it's on the Twelfth I love to wear
The sash my father wore
It's now I'm going to leave you
Good luck to you I say
And when I cross the ocean
I hope for me you'll pray
I am going to my native land
To a place they call Dromore
And on the Twelfth I love to wear
The sash my father wore
The sash my faher wore
