Thread Name: Songs to the John Brown/Battle Hymn tune
Subject: RE: Songs to the John·Brown/Battle·Hymn tune
From Rapaire last October:
"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".
Never heard it sung to that tune: the version I know is sung to the tune of "The Rising of the Moon" or "The Wearing of the Green".
