When brethren are met in their orders so grand,
What a beautiful sight for to view,
I was order'd to stand by a brothers' command,
To receive the bright Orange and Blue.
To receive the bright Orange and Blue,
To receive the bright Orange and Blue,
I was order'd to stand by a brother's command
To receive the bright Orange and Blue
In darkness I entered, the Lord he knows where,
First bound up in chains it is true,
And my shoes from my feet I did then cast away,
To receive the bright Orange and Blue
â¦And my shoesâ¦.
A rumbelling noise just like thunder I heard,
Presented itself to my view.
You would stand with amazement to see them proclaim,
To receive the bright Orange and Blue
â¦You would standâ¦.
A glittering light unto me was revealed,
I became a fresh soul quite anew,
And I'll stand by my cause, my religion and laws,
And I'll die for the Orange and Blue.
â¦And I'll standâ¦.
Let us join heart and hand and like King William stand,
In defence of a cause just and true,
Let the Boyne be our guide where our forefathers died,
In defence of the Orange and Blue
â¦Let the Boyneâ¦.
