The Old Orange Flute | |
In the county Tyrone, near the town of Dungannon | |
Where many's the ruction meself had a hand in | |
Bob Williamson lived there, a weaver by trade | |
And all of us thought him a stout Orange blade. | |
On the twelfth of July as it yearly did come | |
Bob played on the flute to the sound of the drum | |
You can talk of your fiddles, your harp or your lute | |
But there's nothing could sound like the Old Orange Flute. | |
But the treacherous scoundrel, he took us all in | |
For he married a Papist named Bridget McGinn | |
Turned Papish himself and forsook the Old Cause | |
That gave us our freedom, religion and laws. | |
And the boys in the county made such a stir on it | |
They forced Bob to flee to the province of Connaught; | |
Took with him his wife and his fixins, to boot, | |
And along with the rest went the Old Orange Flute. | |
Each Sunday at mass, to atone for past deeds, | |
Bob said Paters and Aves and counted his beads | |
Till one Sunday morn, at the priest's own require | |
Bob went for to play with the flutes in the choir. | |
He went for to play with the flutes in the mass | |
But the instrument quivered and cried."O Alas!" | |
And blow as he would, though he made a great noise, | |
The flute would play only "The Protestant Boys". | |
Bob jumped up and huffed, and was all in a flutter. | |
He pitched the old flute in the blest holy water; | |
He thought that this charm would bring some other sound, | |
When he tried it again, it played "Croppies Lie Down!" | |
And for all he would finger and twiddle and blow | |
For to play Papish music, the flute would not go; | |
"Kick the Pope" to "Boyne Water" was all it would sound | |
Not one Papish bleat in it could e'er be found. | |
At a council of priests that was held the next day | |
They decided to banish the Old Flute away; | |
They couldn't knock heresy out of its head | |
So they bought Bob another to play in its stead. | |
And the Old Flute was doomed, and its fate was pathetic | |
'Twas fastened and burnt at the stake as heretic. | |
As the flames rose around it, you could hear a strange noise | |
'Twas the Old Flute still a-whistlin' "The Protestant Boys". | |
Note: the tune Protestant Boys is also known as Lilliburlero RG | |
