THE GREEN GRASSY SLOPES

Some folks sing of mountains and valleys
Where the wild flowers abundantly grow,
And some of the wavecrested billows
That dash 'neath the waters below.
But l'm going to sing of a river,
And I hope in the chorus you'll join,
Of the deeds that were done by King William
On the green grassy slopes of the Boyne.

CHORUS:
On the green grassy slopes of the Boyne,
Where the Orangemen with William did join,
And fought for our glorious delivrance
On the green grassy slopes of the Boyne,

On the banks of that beautiful river,
There the bones of our forefathers lie
Awaiting the sound of the trumpet
To call them to glory on high.
In our hearts we will cherish their memories
And we all like true brethren will join
And praise God for sending us King William
To the Green grassy slopes of the Boyne.

CHORUS

Orangemen will be loyal and steady,
For no matter whate'er may betide
We will still mind our war-cry "No Surrender"
So long as we've God on our side.
And if ever our service is needed,
Then we all like true brethren will join
And fight like great valiant King William
On the green grassy slopes of the Boyne.

CHORUS
