Subject: Lyr Add: THE CAMPSITE AT DRUMCREE From: GUEST,Purple And Orange Date: 16 Jan 02 - 08:59 AM As an occasional visitor to this place, I'm bothered by the preponderance of songs in your databases that celebrate the Nationalist tradition in Ireland. It's time this imbalance was redressed. So here's a wee song I collected at a true blue sing-song a wee while back. It's to the air that the other side uses for their "Wearing Of The Green".

Subject: RE: SONG ADD : The Campsite At Drumcree From: Hillheader Date: 16 Jan 02 - 02:03 PM Good to see the Unionist ability to rewrite history is alive and well. To whom are you loyal? The Queen?? It was her government who appointed the Parades Commission so not accepting their ruling means you are disobeying a Royal command!! Are you part of the same Loyal brethen who throws pipe bombs at BRITISH soldiers? Or even primary kids on their way to school? Until I saw this I did not realise that people could type with their buttocks. And before anyone spouts on about intolerance -- that works both ways. What would American say if the KKK wanted to march in Harlem? Or what would our "Guest" friend say if Nationalists in Ulster wanted to parade down the Shankhill Road every St Patrick's Day? I know it takes all kinds to make a world, but we could be doing with a few less of some of them -- on BOTH sides of the Irish divide. Davebhoy |

"I love to go a-wandering along the mountain track"? A parody of "Wearing Of The Green"? I reckon it's a joke ... like Lurgan Town was a pisstake in the last century.

Subject: RE: SONG ADD : The Campsite At Drumcree From: GUEST,Purple And Orange Date: 17 Jan 02 - 04:16 AM Derrymacash (Why anybody would want to name themselves after thon wee shinner huxter is beyond me … but there, as they say, you go.) That remark you made about is wide of the mark, boyo, by a long shot. It's common knowledge that the "Campsite At Drumcree" was written by our loyal brothers as they camped out in that first summer of discontent. All hands chipped in, feverishly editing the words and honing it to perfection. Sorry if I'm coming on like a Queens University lecturer, but it's this authenticity which gives the song such resonance among our community. The disparaging remarks you've made continue the age-old fallacy that it's only the taiglodytes that have any element of creativity or soul. The type of urban myth which no doubt contributes to the fact that Daniel O'Donnell records sell in cartloads the world over, whereas a troubadour from our own tradition, the Rev. William McCrea for example, struggles to shift any units whatsoever. I'll give yous all a hand to think with a few more verses which a fellow white-glover passed my way. On holidays some brethren go up North to Portrush Town But I like to spend my fortnight in a field near Portadown There are no flashing slot machines and no foaming billows roar But we sit around the fire and sing "The Sash My Father Wore" "The Sash My Father Wore", "The Sash My Father Wore" We sit around the fire and sing "The Sash My Father Wore" We don't care if it's lashing, our camp we'll not desert For the causes's sake me boys, I'll proudly wade through dirt (Besides my family residence is a few yards down the road I sneak in round the back some nights when it gets a wee bit cold When it gets a wee bit cold, when it gets a wee bit cold I sneak in round the back some nights when it gets a wee bit cold) |

Subject: RE: SONG ADD : The Campsite At Drumcree From: GUEST,MC Fat Date: 17 Jan 02 - 04:26 AM If I was religious (which I'm not) I would say 'God deliver us from these pillocks'. I grew up in West Central Scotland of Protestant (Church of Scotland) upbringing and was surrounded by bigots like you 'Purple and Orange'. Live in the future not in the past. And while you talk about your right to march remember those wee boys who the bigots torched to death in their own house. They had a right to live. |

Help! All han's are swingin' for me now. Seems that the world just isn't ready yet for the heartfelt paeans of the poets laureate of the causes of stagnation, pomposity and trimuphalism.

Subject: RE: SONG ADD : The Campsite At Drumcree From: Hillheader Date: 17 Jan 02 - 01:48 PM I too am from West of Scotland Presbyterian stock and "Orange and Purple" you are a dinosaur with a broken neck and thus can only look back. The bible claims that the prophet is never recognised in his own land. That's why Daniel O'Donnell sells all over the world and McCrea only sells in the Shankhill -- or is that analogy too deep for you? Davebhoy |

Subject: RE: SONG ADD : The Campsite At Drumcree From: Hillheader Date: 17 Jan 02 - 03:53 PM Alison/Fubula Matlock I have just looked at the Portadown News site and it is absolutely hilarious!! The ability to take the most extreme views on either side and laugh at them both equally is a tremendous skill == and it works. I don't feel as as bad about our "Orange and Purple" friend now. Thanks to both of you. Davebhoy |

Subject: RE: SONG ADD : The Campsite At Drumcree From: paddymac Date: 17 Jan 02 - 06:46 PM I'm crying so hard from laughing at the the song (especially the later verses), and some of the exchanges, that I can hardly see to type. I think that this thread cries out for the talents of our many skilled versifiers -maybe it should even be a "song challenge." Let the invisible O&B poster feel the sting of the thousand quills of the MCOL (Mudcat Corps of Lyricists). But on the upside, isn't it better to be ranting in cyberspace than in the real world? |

Subject: RE: SONG ADD : The Campsite At Drumcree From: GUEST Date: 17 Jan 02 - 07:17 PM My guess is Guest purple and orange is Conrad Bladey, Internet Orange kook, who maintains an "Irish" website. He isn't Irish, and he lives in Baltimore, and is universally loathed by the DC/Baltimore Irish session folks, as I recall.

Subject: RE: SONG ADD : The Campsite At Drumcree From: Jimmy C Date: 17 Jan 02 - 11:48 PM Alison. The Portadown News is a scream, we need more of this type of attitude. Just yesterday I was listening to a taped talk by "Patch Adams", (the doctor whose story was made into a movie starring Robin Williams.). He dresses like a clown and treats his patients with humour instead of drugs. He was speaking to a gathering in Ottawa, Canada, Part of his speech was about "the value of humour" and was quick to point out that throughout the ages, " Scientific research has yet to prove that being serious is beneficial in any way ". Sure makes you think. |

Subject: Lyr Add: THE BOUL' ORANGE CAMPSITE AT DRUMCREE From: GUEST,Isaac McKittery Date: 18 Jan 02 - 04:26 AM First of all a word to the detractors and apologists … In a post above one of youse claims that "until now you didn't know anyone could type with their buttocks". Well I've got news for you! People with fundamentalist Protestant views can do just about anything with their buttocks. Typing's a doddle, it's wee buns. If you want a case in point, think only of our dear American Brother in Christ, the Reverend Brother Jerry Lee Lewis, a man that could likely play The Green Grassy Slopes Of The Boyne on the piano with his arse. (And could probably make a good stab at it farting down a mouth organ as well.) So before proceeding any further, let's hear it for the nimble buttocks of Lutheranism, the spry arse-cheeks of Calvinism (and I'm not talking Klein) and the dextrous rumps of fundamentalism. And another correction! Purple and Orange is in no way connected with Brother Conrad, whose views he describes as namby-pamby and liberal. Purple and Orange is none other than Brother Gordy McMordy, Grand Master of LOL 666, Hell's Mouth, and henceforth shall contribute to this debate in his own name. To proceed! Brother McMordy – a bare tit and a furled trouser to you! I think you're a wee bit confused. I didn't write the fine song you've published. I was responsible for "The Boul' Orange Campsite at Drumcree" which goes to the tune of the shinners' "Kelly The Boy From Killane". An aisy mistake, so rest aisy on your camp-bed. I reproduce it below for the greater glory of our vengeful Lord. THE BOUL' ORANGE CAMPSITE AT DRUMCREE (Copyright Isaac McKittery) What's the news, what's the news, my boul' Orangeman, with your bowler, your brolly and your sash? Why in such haste through the streets do you race and why in such hurry do you dash? Goodly news, goodly news do I bring unto you, goodly news do I carry to thee For all of its might England quakes at the sight of the boul' Orange campsite of Drumcree Though we're up to our oxters in cow-clap and glar, with no telly, no toilet nor no bath We will still stand our ground like those men of renown who held out in Derry to the last Oh the Fenians may wrap the green flag around as into the grave they are sent But when I'm deceased, if oul' Ulster's not released, you may wrap Brother Isaac in a tent And when I'm enrolled in the heavenly fold I won't need no mansion in the sky Some cloth and some pegs in a canvas kit-beg is all that I'll need to get by When Glory I gain, I will never complain if I'm quartered along with my kind Cos I'd hate for to spend my days without end living like a pearl among swine |

Subject: RE: SONG ADD : The Campsite At Drumcree From: paddymac Date: 18 Jan 02 - 06:44 AM Isaac - "LOL 666"? is that like "lol" or "rotflmao". There's been so many great jokes here over the years, I can't remember which one was number 666. Can you refresh for us? You chose a great tune for your parody, and your sense of humor peeks through throughout your post. Is it possible you're an orangeman without horns and a tail? I have a dear friend who, in all honesty, proclaims himself an "Orangeman for a united Ireland." His origins are in an ultra conservative brand of orangeism, but he's grown way beyond it. I empathised with him when his son married a papist and converted. |

Subject: Lyr Add: THE NEW JERUSALEM From: GUEST,Brother Gordy McMordy, LOL 666 Date: 18 Jan 02 - 06:48 AM Brother Isaac … tit bared and trouser furled, y'oul' goat! Yer a cat man so y'are for givin' me away like thon! I wonder if the owners of the Mudcat are aware that their site is situated on a traditional cyber high way route used by generations of cyber-Orangemen? Your wee song is all very well and good. But I'm in a highbrow frame of min' right now and so I thought I'd reprint the lyrics of "Till We Build The New Jerusalem (Along The Oul' Garvaghy Road)". Keep the faith. THE NEW JERUSALEM And did those feet in ancient time Walk up the oul' Garvaghy Road? And did the holy Lamb of God Round Edenderry take a stroll? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon this loyal town? And was Jerusalem builded here In dear oul' Orange Portadown? Bring me my bow of burning gold Bring me my arrows of desire Bring me my spear! Oh, clouds unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire I will not cease from mental fight Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand Til we have built Jerusalem In Ulster's orange and pleasant land! |

Subject: RE: SONG ADD : The Campsite At Drumcree From: GUEST,Geordie McMordy Date: 18 Jan 02 - 08:17 AM Hello there … Geordie McMordy, son and heir to the bitterest bigot ever to spend the afternoon of the 12th pissed out of his skull on warm Guinness and Mundies in the field at Scarva. Ye alright there, da, ye big bollocks, ye? The mention up above there by Alison (are you our sort, girl and if so are you coortin'? ) prompted me to write in. I'm in a Pretenders cover band. We play Orange Halls, Black Preceptories, Coming-Out Parties, Weddings (not Mixed!!) … you know the type of thing. We're called "The Defenders". (If you want to book us ddrop me or me da a line!) One of our more poignant songs is about a Drumcree veteran receiving a Paisley family picture postcard … here it goes Back on the chain gang (with thanks to Chrissie Hynde) I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh You had your big burly arm around Kyle The world doesn't know like I do, oh oh oh oh The pain 'neath that big cheesy smile We're back on the train Oh, back on the chain gang A circumstance beyond our control, oh oh oh oh Made the front of the 'Tele that night Said we'd die or be cast into hell, oh oh oh oh They threw sand in our eyes and said it was lies We're back on the train Oh, back on the chain gang The Powers That Be That force us to live like we do Bring me to my knees When I see what they've done to you But I'll die as I stand here today In clabber from instep to knee If up our traditional route To walk we're not free I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh It was the happiest day of my life Your big bulldog face seemed to say oh oh oh oh Continue the fight Now we're back on the train Back on the chain gang

Subject: Lyr Add: PAISLEY'S FUSILIERS From: GUEST,Isaac McKittery Date: 18 Jan 02 - 08:51 AM The awr one I min' is to the tune of a song the tims sing which is called "McAlpine's Fusiliers", written I believe, by one of a rake of gather-ups from thon hellhole in the Free State, Dublin. Anyways, it's about our side's vale of tears and sea of woes. It's called "Paisley's Fusiliers". PAISLEY'S FUSILIERS (spoken) It was in the year of '98 when I became a brawr The smile on my oul' fawr's face; the pride on that of mawr They had a do that very night at the local LOL (Not a temperance lodge, thank God, we all got drunk to hell!) With me sash, me gamp and bowler, I looked the very part As out I strode out upon the twelfth, I near broke me mawr's heart But the grantin' of that honour's nearly been the death of me For I'm frozen to my bollocks in a churchyard in Drumcree As down the glen came the Orangemen with their banners furled before them With their flutes and drums down the road they come; it's hard for the Catholics to ignore them They're headed for Garvaghy Road, but their journey will soon end in tears When the cops say "No, back up the road you go" to Paisley's Fusiliers These well-dressed gents sit in their tents and think of the glories of the past Aughrim, Boyne, The General Strike, each image ever greater than the last It sours our gall and it breaks our balls, I don't think about it else I'd near explode That we can't process a hundred yards more or less up the Garvaghy Road The shanty town outside Portadown shines like a beacon through the land From this very site is being waged the fight some call the Ulster Protestants' last stand We'll pursue our cause, and we'll challenge the laws, though the battle it may last for many years But the day will come, when we'll overcome, say Paisley's Fusiliers |

Subject: RE: SONG ADD : The Campsite At Drumcree From: Fibula Mattock Date: 18 Jan 02 - 10:30 AM Editor of the Portadown News, if indeed it is you, sure you're evidently an equal-opportunity satirist and as such are probably entitled to a whole host of cross-community grants to bring our divided communities togther in peace, love and harmony.

Subject: RE: SONG ADD : The Campsite At Drumcree From: GUEST,Portadown News Editor Date: 18 Jan 02 - 11:11 AM The irony was lost on no-one (except Robin Livingstone, Editor of that mighty organ.) I thought an accusation of sectarianism from the Angrytown News was pretty ironic as well. |

Subject: RE: SONG ADD : The Campsite At Drumcree From: Fibula Mattock Date: 18 Jan 02 - 11:22 AM Indeedy. The sort of irony that belts you round the head like a breeze block. I suppose it explains why they don't find your esteemed organ amusing, since they have about the same concept of irony as Alanis Morrisette. Aah, but still, they'll never suffer from splinters in their arses. Mind you, there's that entire dinner table in their own eye... |

Subject: Lyr Add: STONES IN ME KIDNEYS From: GUEST Date: 29 Jan 02 - 07:28 AM Ach, Sam, me boul' stalwart. Glad that the Craigavon mob got your kidney sorted out. Sure if it had give you any more bawr I'd've wheeked it out myself with my Swiss Army Knife. If you'd been one o' the awr sort, they'd've pickled thon oul' kidney and preserved it as a relic. The oul' Shinners would've been ben'in' the knee to it and mutterin' into their oul' beads for the salvation of their sowls. But sure when you were away, didn't we write you a wee song about your kidney stones … it's to the tune of thon oul' "Waltzing Matilda". STONES IN ME KIDNEYS Once a jolly Orangeman Put up his oul' tent upon A hill in the spot That is known as Drumcree He went for a slash And he poolied pebble-dash On the ground he did thrash From his oul kid-a-nees Stones in me kidneys Stones in me kidneys Cause me to howl Aye, they cause me to moan It's ruined my vacation In my canvas habitation I must get an operation On me oul' kidney stone And as for you, Alison, you dorty-minded huzzie. I'd say you'd have a sheugh or two on you that a man'd be inclined to crawl around in right enough. Thon outfit you describe ... it would torn a b'y on, so it would! |

I'm only after making up this wee song for ye. Would it tempt ye to come visit me in me lonely vigil on Drumcree hill. Mine's the big frame tent on top o' the hill, orange (naturally), with a pair of Union Jack boxer shorts flyin' from the top o' it. The wee verse is to the tune of a Donegal march called "Kitty O'Connor", which Altan play as part of a set with that fine oul' Scottish tune "Cam' Ye By Atholl". (There ye go, nigh! Ye didn't think I had any knowledge of thon sort of music, did ye? Well let's keep it a wee secret between ourselves …) By the way ... that lol thing ... I'll go one better. Here goes. lol rbp. D'ye get me? Once a fenian filly Took a shine to this oul' Billy Who lived out on a hilly Overlooking Portydown He spurned all her advances Didn't like oul' mixed romances Till at last the circumstances Fairly brought him roun' She dressed up like a billy girl It fairly made his baton whirl And his oul banner did unfurl And his arch fair straightened out And on his fife she played a tune "The Rising of the Fenian Moon" It nearly made oul' Isaac swoon And his eyeballs to pop out

So this'll be the last song you hear from me till I light on your doorstep.

Hell" And so for many lonely years He camped out at Drumcree A vigil for the Orange Till Ulster would be free Of the oul' Parades Commission Who piss from a great height On a rake of Orange marches Which we claim as our birthright Till a letter from Australia From a blade who turned him on Set oul' Ike a-thinkin Of a new home in the sun He thought long and hard upon it Till up! without delay He moved his Drumcree campsite To the shore of Botany Bay |

Subject: RE: SONG ADD : The Campsite At Drumcree From: GUEST,NEWSFLASH!!!! Date: 30 Jan 02 - 04:39 AM News has just reached us that Isaac McKittery's bid to be the first Orangeman to row single-handedly from Larne to Sydney has failed. After 66 days at sea, authorities lost radio contact with the love-stricken billy-boy. Last night, the body of the middle-aged marching man was found washed up on a beach in Thailand. He was naked except for his beloved LOL 666 sash. This, and the new tattoo - a heart bearing the legend "Alison" - helped identify the body. Police have confirmed that the sash was used to strangle Mr McKittery. They do not suspect a sectarian motive. However, they have confirmed that they have arrested an alleged "love rival" who goes by the name of Derryadd Sam. |

Subject: Lyr Add: DERRYADD SAMMY From: GUEST,Isaac McKittery Date: 30 Jan 02 - 06:30 AM Alison … There's somethin' not right goin' on here. At first I thought it might have been the boys on the Falls spreadin' a smear. But I've figured it! It's thon dorty back-stabber Sam o' Derryadd. Every time I get within a whiff of a coort, he's in leck a badger to drive them away. Now take my advice, Alison and stay well clear of him. He's a nice-lookin' wee cottage right enough. But th'oul' hovel's fallin' to bits. You can see daylight through the thatch and the place is fair leppin' wi' wildlife o' every sort … mice, rats, flays, bed-bugs, clocks, eary-wigs and hairy eels. You wouldn't know if you were in a house or a David Attenborough programme. As for Sam hisself; this wee song that follows'll gi'e you an idea of the class of character you're dealin' wi'. It goes to the air of "Donegal Danny". DERRYADD SAMMY I remember the night he first came in to our loyal Drumcree camp A smelly oul' bugger, with shite on his boots, and a faint odour off him of the damp He scratched his flabby arse and let out a great big fart and then he rifted long and loud – near made me boke "How's it goin', lads? I'm big Sam o' Derryadd, come to join you loyal campin' folk" CHORUS So here's to those that are dead and gone I wish that oul' Sam was in that crew For he's fryin' my oul' head From I wake till I hit bed If I'd a hammer I would bate him black and blue He picks his oul' nose and he fiddles with his toes (the smell is like a gorgonzola cheese) His flies are always open (I reckon that he's hopin' it's a way to attract an oul' main squeeze!) His teeth have never tasted paste and the dorty ignor'nt baste would like to give all weemin a quick grope His head is full o' nits and his dingly-dangly bits have never been acquainted with the soap Chorus The size of his oul' butt and the girth of his oul' gut indicate that he's a glutton and a groo He'd ate from dawn till eve, and anything you'd leave, he'd stuff it in his bake – I'm tellin' you He's a gulpin and a carn, his mammy never larned him lessons about daycency and class He's a shite-bag and a coolie, stains his trousers when he poolies, I could spend a fortnight kickin' his oul ass Chorus |

Subject: RE: SONG ADD : The Campsite At Drumcree From: GUEST,NEWSFLASH!!!! Date: 30 Jan 02 - 09:10 AM Portadown – 30th January 2002 From Our Special Correspondent There's an air of anticipation here in Drumcree. The rift between supporters of Isaac McKittery and those of Samuel McAutry threatens to split the local Orange Order asunder. It is alleged that McAutry – otherwise known as Derryadd Sam – has been waging a smear campaign against his rival for the hand of "Ozzie Alison". Matters came to a head this morning when McKittery retaliated with a harsh rebuke of Sam for his lack of attention to personal hygiene and his cavalier disregard for decent manners. Now the camp at Drumcree has split into two factions. Dapper McKittery – resplendent in full marching regalia – has returned from his feted attempt to row single-handedly from Larne to Melbourne. He has been gathering signatures for a covenant that pledges signatories to leave the old Orange Order and be initiated into his newly-formed "Loyal (To Alison) Orange Order of New South Wales via Edenderry" unless Brother McAutry is dismissed dishonourably from the Orange Order. For his part, McAutry has been attempting to win support for his motion that McKittery should be expelled from the Order. McKittery has so far garnered some 20,000 signatures. McAutry only one, besides his own, and that from a boy from the Montiaghs who got confused by the milling crowds and thought he was signing for his dole money! The Orange Order so far is keeping its cards close to its chest. But sources close to the Grand Master reveal that they are not treating the matter as a cause of serious concern. "A wee bit of controversy about a coortship never did any lasting harm, did it?" quipped a spokesman. Oh aye?! Try telling that to Parnell!! |

Subject: RE: SONG ADD : The Campsite At Drumcree From: GUEST,NEWSFLASH!!!! Date: 30 Jan 02 - 09:43 AM The ugly scenes of the past few nights are behind us now. An uneasy peace has resumed in Portadown. The followers of Sam McAutry, the self-proclaimed High Priest Of Orangery have closed ranks around their now-elusive leader and the old guard who stood behind his rival, the late Isaac McKittery, now face the future with uncertainty. But there was a veiled hint of more trouble to come in the graveside panegyric delivered over the corpse of McKittery by his great friend in life, Gordy McMordy, now in hiding – a wanted man. McMordy obviously suspects that the schism which the events of the past few days has opened up has been engineered by forces outside the Order … "The Defenders of this Realm have worked well in secret and in the open. They think that they have pacified the orange. They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half. They think that they have foreseen everything, think that they have provided against everything; but the fools, the fools, the fools!---they have left us our orangeman dead, and while Ulster holds these graves, Ulster unfree shall never be at peace. " We here at "the centre that cannot hold, but must" hold our breaths and pray to our Gods that commonsense will prevail. |

On behalf of the few remaining Kitteryites, holed up in a arch of Shillington Bridge, to confirm that Brother McKittery is no longer with us. A great loss to the world of songwriting, a greater loss to the world of moderate orangery. But thank God his words are preserved for generations to come, that they may listen and learn from this great man. But, hark! Alas the enemy is at the door. The Bann is a-fire and the brute forces of Derryaddism which have assailed us so often in the past few days are once again confonting us. I go now to my own death. Farewell, and remember

And then I gave myself a wee nickname – "The Bishop of the Ballads" … Why don't you call yourself "The Reverend Thomas Biggs, Ballymena's Blubbery Balladeer"? Your friend Dickie PS here's the lyrics to "Crumlin Prison Blues". See what you think! CRUMLIN PRISON BLUES (with apologies to John R Cash) I hear that train a-comin' Rollin' round the bend I ain't seen no sunshine Since Lord I don't know when I'm stuck in Crumlin prison Time is draggin' on And that train it keeps on rollin' Back home to Portydown When I was a baby My ma done tol' me "Son Always be a good boy Don't you mess about with guns" But I shot a man in Lurgan Cos he was a taig And I kidnap petty criminals And then I break their legs I bet there's alkies drinkin' Buckfast and Scotch Mac And the odd dope-smoker draggin' On a bit of wacky bacc But I knew I had it comin' I know I have to pay But them people keep a-movin' That's what tortures me If I was out of Crumlin And that railroad train was mine I guess that I would move A little further down the line Far from Crumlin Prison That's where I long to be Camping with my brethren Out in ol' Drumcree |

Subject: RE: SONG ADD : The Campsite At Drumcree From: GUEST,Tommy Makem Date: 31 Jan 02 - 09:08 AM Alison … I wouldn't compromise the artistic integrity of my finest creation. However I do not wish to be unhelpful. So I'll give you a bit of a fiddle-about with another song with which I'm associated, "The Dealin' Men From Crossmaglen (Put The Whiskey In Me Tay)". The Marchin' Men From Portydown (That Camp Out At Drumcree) When out in full regalia on the Twelfth I gamely strode To exercise my right to march along Garvaghy Road A dorty big policeman said "Up this road you will not pass Turn around, you Orange houn' before I kick your ass" I said "You must be jokin'! Marchin' is our right!" He said "Aye, in your bollocks! Not if it starts a fight!" And then he drew his baton and he gave me such a smack It left me sprawling on the street on the flat of my oul' back From The Tunnel to Kilwilkie as any man will vow There are no prods but catholics for mile and miles around It isn't taigs but loyal bloods who'll stand four square with me It's the marching men of Portydown who camp out at Drumcree |

Subject: RE: SONG ADD : The Campsite At Drumcree From: GUEST,Dana Date: 31 Jan 02 - 09:11 AM Alison ... I believe my commitment to non-violence is well-known. However if you persist in staking a claim to Daniel O'Donnell then I shall fly to Australia and sing "All Kinds of Everything" to you till you relinquish all interests in him (strategic, selfish or whatever). |

Subject: RE: SONG ADD : The Campsite At Drumcree From: GUEST,Liam Clancy Date: 31 Jan 02 - 09:56 AM Alison … Liam here! Chubby cheeks, wry smile, wee hat cocked rakishly. I've hastily rewritten a song with which I'm most associated, although it was of course written by Ripley … sorry, I mean Eric … Bogle. The original would have a wee resonance for you in your current location. But I'm sure that this version will resonate even more! THE BAND PLAYED LILLIBULLERO When I was a young man, each twelfth of July We'd march wherever we chose to Our banners and flags, we would carry them high There was never a road we were closed to Then the fenians got cocky and said "Billy boys We don't like your swagger, we don't like your noise Your intimidation, in fact, we despise" And they sent us back home to Drumcree And the band played Lillibullero As we pitched our oul' tents on the hill By the end of the year we thought we'd be clear But some boys are livin' there still Boom boom!! |

Subject: RE: SONG ADD : The Campsite At Drumcree From: GUEST,NEWSFLASH!!!! Date: 01 Feb 02 - 07:55 AM Reports are coming in that a replacement bus service, instigated because of an earlier bomb threat on the Dublin-Belfast line outside Newry, has been hijacked. Two of the passengers - believed to be Liam Reilly of crap Dublin band "Bag Of Hell" and crap musician and crap person generally, Chris de Burgh - were seen to have been led away by masked men before the bus was allowed to continue its journey back to Belfast via Portydown. A statement from the Popular Front for the Prevention of Shite Music has claimed responsibility for the hijacking and subsequent kidnapping. It claims that both "musicians" are being well-treated and being subjected to regular exposure to recordings by The Bothy Band, Thin Lizzy, Horslips, Planxty, Stiff Little Fingers, The Undertones and other "credible" Irish acts in an effort to rehabilitate them prior to their release back into society. |

Subject: RE: SONG ADD : The Campsite At Drumcree From: GUEST,Philippa Date: 13 Apr 02 - 03:24 AM There have been at least 4 campsite at Drumcree threads and then a couple more Drumcree threads. I have contributed to any of them, under any pseudonym, but I am here now just to tell you about an article in this month's edition of Beo on-line. Liz Curtis tells of the feud between the editors of the Portadown News and the Andersontown News. The Andytown News condemns the humour of the Portydown News and since the A'town News doesn't find the Portydown News funny, the latter has satirised columnists of the A'town News (I don't know how significant it is that the two columnists Liz mentions are also known as Sinn Féin activists). After the Portydown News was first condemned by the rival paper, it was kicked off its site due to complaints to the server. The on-line mag found another server, but as a result of the name and shame campaign, its (formerly anonymous)editor eventually resigned his job with a computer company. He is now a freelancejournalist. |

Subject: Lyr Add: THE CAMPSITE AT DRUMCREE From: Wolfgang Date: 27 Jan 03 - 12:42 PM Copied and pasted from several posts in the first Drumcree thread. Wolfgang THE CAMPSITE AT DRUMCREE
Oh then Sammy, dear, did you hear the news that's going round
They say the whinging fenians are kicking up a fuss
If we're not allowed to march, whatever shall we do?
Such a loyal encampment, you never 'fore did see
I love to go a wandering along the mountain track
On holidays some brethren go up North to Portrush Town
We don't care if it's lashing, our camp we'll not desert
The on-site facilities are hardly up to scratch |
