Here’s a little rarity from the 1960’s folk revival in Ireland with a catchy little song called ‘The Orange & The green’ by Dublin Folk group, ‘The Quare Fellas’. Hope you enjoy!
The Orange & The Green by The Quare Fellas
The Orange and The Green
This is a Traditional comedy folk song which makes a humorous observation of the situation of ‘Mixed marriages’ in Ireland between Catholic and Protestant individuals and the outcome of their offspring. The Orange being Protestant in reference to The Orange Order, a Pro protestant group that celebrates the reign of King William of orange in the late 17th century.
