Irish Rovers Lyrics - The Orange And The Green Lyrics

Oh, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen.
My father, he was Orange and me mother, she was green.

My father was an Ulster man, proud Protestant was he.
My mother was a Catholic girl. From county Cork was she.

green is the natives of ireland

and orange are british support.....

white is the peace between the 2

You got it. That song was actually my favourite when I was a kid. Described my own family, except reversed. The old man is Irish Catholic, Mom is Scottish Presbyterian.
