[A] Then after [E] that the Orange [B] Lodge would try to [E] save my soul
[C#m] For both I'd try to claim me [F#m] but I was smart [B] because

One day me ma's [B] relations came round to visit me
[A] Just as my [E] father's kinfolk [B] were all sitting [E] down to tea
[C#m] We tried to smooth things [F#m] over but they all began to fight
[A] And me [E] be strictly neutral [B] I'd buy snippery [E] what in sight
How it is the biggest mix-up [B] that you have ever seen
[A] My father [E] he was orange, my [B] mother she [E] was green
Now my parents never could [B] agree about my time of school
[A] I learned it [E] was all done at [B] home that's why I'm [E] such a fool
[C#m] They both passed on God rest [F#m] them but left me caught [B] between
That awful [E] colour problem [B] of the orange [E] and the green
