Dolly's Brae
[Intro]
F C F G7 C
[Verse 1]
It Cbeing the twelfth day of July in the year of G7forty-Cnine,
Five Fhundred of our COrange men toG7gether did combine
In Cmemory of King William on that G7bright and glorious day
To Cmarch around Lord Roden's park and over G7Dolly's CBrae
To Fmarch around Lord CRoden's park and Fover G7Dolly's CBrae.
[Verse 2]
And Cwhen we got to Weirsbridge sure it was a G7glorious Csight
To Fsee so many COrangemen all G7ready for to fight
To Cmarch around the ould remains our G7music sweet to play
And the Ctune we played was the Protestant Boys right on to G7Dolly's CBrae
And the FTune we played was the CProtestant Boys right Fon to G7Dolly's CBrae
[Verse 3]
Just Cthen two priests came up to us and to Mr G7Biers did Csay:
"Come Fturn your men the Cother road and G7never cross Dolly's Brae."
"BeCgone, begone, you papish dogs, you've G7hardly time to pray
BeCfore we throw your carcasses right over G7Dolly's CBrae
BeFfore we throw your Ccarcasses right Fover G7Dolly's CBrae."
[Verse 4]
And Cwhen we came to that great hill they were ranked on G7every Cside
And Foffering up their Cpapish prayers for G7help to stem the tide
But we Cloosed our guns upon them and we G7quickly won the day
And we Cknocked five hundred papishes right over G7Dolly's CBrae
And we Fknocked five hundred Cpapishes right Fover G7Dolly's CBrae
[Verse 5]
So Cnow my song at last I'll end, my pen I G7will throw Cdown,
And Fwish success to Cevery man supG7ports the British Crown
And Cgenerations yet unborn will G7mind this place of yore
For we Cnamed the spot King William's Ridge and Dolly's G7Brae no Cmore.
For we Fnamed the spot King CWilliam's Ridge and FDolly's G7Brae no Cmore.
