Thread Name: Irish reconciliation song?
Subject: Irish reconciliation song?
I've been looking for a song for some time, which I read about in the Irish Times, maybe in one of those columns by "Y" on the letters and Irishman's Diary page.

It's about reconciliation between Orange and Green, and has a line something like:

"And you'll wear the orange lily-o, and I the blue cockade"

or maybe it's

"And I'll wear the Easter lily-o and you the blue cockade".

Anyway, political cross-dressing of some sort was to be engaged in.

Nobody seems to have heard of it, and I can't find it; I've tried the Digitrad Search for "cockade" without luck.

Anyone able to help? If I've asked before and been answered later while away or computer-crashed or work-loaded, sorry in advance.
