The Ducks of Magheralin Traditional Orange song
Lyrics Oh it is a famous city in the fine old ancient style, A credit to sweet County Down and the pride of Eireann s Isle, It had a spacious harbour for the bread carts to sail in, And if ever you go to Ireland you ll sail through Magheralin. You have heard of great Napoleon, Napoleon Bonaparte, He conquered half of Europe and many another part He tried to conquer Ireland but we never would give in And he died in St Helena when he thought of Magheralin. You have heard of Great King William, King William crossed the Boyne, With a hundred balls of sealing wax and a thousand yards of twine And then he gave his orders for the cobblers to begin To make a thousand pairs of boots for the ducks of Magheralin.
