Verse 1
D
G
me father was an Ulster man,
D
called Puddleston, t 'was he.
C
G
Me mother was a Catholic girl,
D
G
from County Cork came she.
They were married into churches,
C
G
Until the day that I was born,
D
then things got rather rough
G
For it was the greatest mix -up
D
that you have ever seen
C
G
Me father, he was or ange,
D
G
C
G
D
and me mother, she was green
C
G
To be made a little or ange man,
D
me father's shining star
G
I was christened David Antony,
D
but yet in spite of that
C
G
To me father, I was William,
D
G
to me mother, I was Patrick
Old to church then every Sunday,
D
with mother I proudly scrolled
C
G
Then later on the Orange Lodge,
D
G
they tried to save me soul
For both sides tried to play me,
D
C
but I was smart because I play me,
G
you'd gotta play me, for
D
G
Depending where I was in war,
it was the greatest mix -up
D
that you have ever seen.
C
Me father, he was the rich,
G
D
and me mother,
G
C
G
D
G
she was green.
Sometimes I'd sing those revel songs,
D
much to me mother's joy.
C
G
Me father would laugh up and shout,
D
no care when young me boy,
G
Sure you've sung enough of that lot,
D
feed them, toss me a coin
C
G
To sing about the Irish flute
D
G
or the heralds of the boyn
One day me mam's relations,
D
they came to grizzle me
C
G
By chance me faddies came,
D
G
were just sitting down to play
While we tried to smooth things over,
D
but they all began to fight
C
G
And being strictly neutral,
D
I bashed everyone in sight
G
For it was the greatest mix -up
D
that you have ever seen
C
D
Me father he was or ange
G
D
and me mother she
G
C
G
D
was green
G
Well, me parents never could agree
D
about me kind of school
C
G
Me learning was all done at home,
D
G
no wonder I'm a fool
Well, they both passed on,
God bless them,
D
but I am torn in between
C
G
That awful colour of love
D
of the or ange and the green
G
For it was the greatest mix -up
D
that you have ever seen
C
G
Me father he was orange
D
G
and me mother she was green
C
G
Oh the orange and the green,
oh the orange and the green
C
G
Me father he was orange
G
C
G
D
green
