The Irish Rovers made a hit out of

My father was a Protestant, an Ulsterman 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's the biggest mixup
That you have ever seen
My father he was Orange
And me mother she was Green.

etc.
