Artist: The Irish Rovers
Sung by: Jimmy Ferguson
Oh it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father he was orange and my mother she was green
Oh my father was an Ulsterman, proud Protestant was he
My mother was a Catholic girl, from County Cork was she
They were married in two churches, lived happily enough
Until the day that I was born and things got rather tough
Oh it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father he was orange and my mother she was green
Now my parents never could agree about my type of school
My learning was all done at home,
that's why I'm such a foolThey both passed on, god rest them,
but left me caught between
That awful color problem of the orange and the green
Yes it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father he was orange and my mother she was green

Great, great song choice for the month of March, being St. Patty's day soon. Loved it. And your photos are picture perfect for the lyrics. Job well done.

My oh my have a wonderful day!!!
Perfect, Doug, as Anni said, just great for St. Paddy's day, when all the Orangemen stay home trying to look inconspicuous.
I always loved the Irish Rovers, and dear old Jimmy, wasn't he wonderful?

I liked the Irish Rovers, the radio don't play them very much these days.
