Stan Rogers

The House Of Orange

by Stan Rogers
Stan Rogers

Biography:

Stanley Allison Rogers (November 29, 1949 – June 2, 1983) was a Canadian folk musician and songwriter.

Rogers was noted for his rich, baritone voice and his traditional-sounding songs which were frequently inspired by Canadian history and the daily lives of working people, especially those from the fishing villages of the Maritime provinces and, later, the farms of the Canadian prairies and Great Lakes. Rogers died in a fire aboard Air Canada Flight 797 on the ground at the Greater Cincinnati Airport at the age of 33.

/ F / C / Bb / F /
I / took back my / hand and I / showed him the / door, /
/ F / CG / Bb / C /
No / dollar of / mine would I / part with this / day, /
/ F / CG / Bb / F /
For / fueling the / engine of a / bloody cruel / war , /
/ F / Bb / C /
In my / forefathers' / home far a - / way. /
/ F / C / Bb / F
Who / fled the first / Famine wearing / all that they /
/
owned, /
/ F / C / Bb / C /
Were / called Navi - / gators, all / ragged and / torn, / and
F / C / Bb / F /
Built the Grand / Trunk here and / found a new / home, /
/ F / C / F / / /
Wher - / ever their / children were / born. / / /

/ F / C / Bb / F / Their / sons have no / politics, / none can
- / call, /
/ F / CG / Bb / C /
All - / egiance from / long gener - / ations be - / fore, /
/ F / CG / Bb / F /
Oh, / this war or / that name can't / matter at / all, /
/ F / Bb / C /
Or / be cause e - / nough for to / war, / and.
F / C / Bb / F /
Meanwhile my / babies are / safe in their / homes, /
/ F / C / Bb /
Un / like their Pale / cousins who / cower and /
C /
cry, /
/ F / C / Bb / F / /
While / knee-cappers / nail their poor / Dads to the / floor, / / and
F / C / F / / /
Teach them to / hate and to / die. / / /

F / C / Bb / F / /
It's those cruel / beggars who / spurn the fair / coin, / /
/ F / CG / Bb / C /
The / Peace for their / kids they could / take at their / will, /
/ F / CG / Bb / F / /
Since the / day old King / Billy pre - / vailed at the / Boyne, / /
/ F / Bb / C / /
They've / bombed and they've / maimed and they've / killed. / /
/ F / C / Bb / F / /
Now they / cry out for / money and / wail at the / door, / / but
F / C / Bb / C /
Home Rule or Re - / public, 'tis / all of it / shame, / and
/ F / C / Bb / F / /
A / curse for us / here who want / nothing of / war, / /
/ F / C / F / / /
We're / kindred in / nothing but / name. / / /

Break: Instrumental - Last 4 lines of verse

/ F / C / Bb / F / /
All / rights and all / wrongs have long / since blown a - / way, / /
/ F / CG / Bb / C /
For / causes are / ashes where / children lie / slain, /
/ F / CG / Bb / F /
Yet the / damned UD - / L and the / cruel IR - / A /
/ F / Bb / C / /
Will to - / morrow go / murdering a - / gain. / /
/ F / C / Bb / F / /
But no / penny of / mine will I / add to the / fray./ /
/ F / C / Bb / C / /
"Re - / member the / Boyne" they will / cry out in / vain, / /
/ F / C / Bb / F / /
For I've / given my / heart to the / place I was / born, / / and
/ F / Bb / C / /
For - / given the / whole House of / Orange, / /
/ F / C / F
King / Billy and the / whole House of / Orange.
/ F / / / / / /
