[Verse 1]
D Bm A
Oh my father was an Ulsterman, proud Protestant was he
G D A D
My mother was a Catholic girl, from County Cork was she
D Bm A
They were married in two churches, lived happily enough
G D A D
Until the day that I was born and things got rather tough
[Chorus]
G Bm A
Oh it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
G D A D
My father he was orange and my mother she was green
[Verse 2]
D Bm A
Oh baptised by Fr. Reilly, I got rushed away by car
G D A D
To be made a little orangeman, my father's shining star
D Bm A
I was christened David Anthony, but still in spite of that
G D A D
To my father I was William while my mother called me Pat
[Chorus]
G Bm A
Oh it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
G D A D
My father he was orange and my mother she was green
[Verse 3]
D Bm A
Off to mass every Sunday with ma I'd proudly stroll
G D A D
And after that the orange lodge would try to save my soul
D Bm A
Well I'd go along with both of them, for I was smart because
G D A D
I'd play me harp or play me flute depending where I was
[Chorus]
G Bm A
Oh it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
G D A D
My father he was orange and my mother she was green
[Verse 4]
D Bm A
Now when I sing them rebel songs much to my mother's joy
G D A D
My father he'd look up and shout look here William me boy
D Bm A
That's quite enough of that lot, he'd then toss me a coin
G D A D
And have me sing King Billy and the heroes of the Boyne
[Chorus]
G Bm A
Oh it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
G D A D
My father he was orange and my mother she was green
[Verse 5]
G Bm
Well they've both passed on God rest them
A
And left me caught between
G D
The aweful colour problem
A D
Of the Orange and the Green
[Chorus]
G Bm A
Oh it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
G D A D
My father he was orange and my mother she was green
