BOYNE WATER    https://mudcat.org/@displaysong.cfm?SongID=5975

July the First in Ouldbridge Town there was a grievous battle
Where many a man lay on the ground by cannons that did rattle;
King James he pitched his tents between the lines for to retire,
But King William threw his bombballs in and set them all on fire.

LURGAN TOWN     https://mudcat.org/@displaysong.cfm?SongID=3789
Oh Lurgan town's an altered town,
Since papish Hancock he came to it
If ye walk on the twelfth day of July,
Ye may depend he'll make you rue it,

THE OULD ORANGE FLUTE    https://mudcat.org/@displaysong.cfm?SongID=3789
On the twelfth of July as it yearly did come
Bob played on the flute to the sound of the drum

THE SASH MY FATHER WORE https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=23052#253477

It is old but it is beautiful, and its colors they are fine
It was worn at Derry, Aughrim, Enniskillen and the Boyne.
My father wore it as a youth in bygone days of yore
And on the Twelfth [of July] I love to wear the sash my father wore
