Is it 'The Sash my father wore' or some other song called 'The Sash'?
The Sash my father wore
Sure I'm an Ulster Orangeman,
From Erin's Isle I came,
To see my British brethren
All of honour and of fame,
And to tell them of my forefathers
Who fought in days of yore,
That I might have the right to wear,
The sash my father wore!
Chorus:
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 I love to wear
The sash my father wore.
For those brave men who crossed the Boyne
Have not fought or died in vain
Our Unity, Religion, Laws,
And Freedom to maintain,
If the call should come we'll follow the drum,
And cross that river once more
That tomorrow's Ulsterman may wear
The sash my father wore!
Chorus
And when some day, across the sea
To Antrim's shore you come,
We'll welcome you in royal style,
To the sound of flute and drum
And Ulster's hills shall echo still,
From Rathlin to Dromore
As we sing again the loyal strain
Of the sash my father wore!
Chorus

It's "The Sash me father wore" but Liam Clancy has a version about the Scots
(thus my xposting to to SCS and their view of the Queen of England...
In part it goes...
Nay Liz the one (something)
Nay Liz shall every be!
For we'll make our land Republican
and Scottish break away!
It's a slag of the English Royality as seen from a Scottish perspective...

I've always had a soft spot for this one:
The Old Orange Flute
In the County Tyrone near the town of Dungannon
There was many a ruction that meself had a hand in
Bob Williamson lived there, a weaver by trade
And oll of us thought him a stout orange blade
On the twelth of July as it yearly did come
Bob played with his old flute to the sound of a drum
You can talk of your harp, your piano or lute,
but nothing compared with the old orange flute
Toora loo, toora lay, oh it's six miles from Bangor to Donaghadee
Now Bob, the deceiver, sure he took us all in
And he married a Papist called Bridget McGinn
Turned Papish himself and forsook the old cause
That gave us our freedom, religion and laws
Now the boys of the place made some comment upon it
And Bob had to flee to the province of Connaught
He fled with his wife and his fixings to boot
And along with the latter his old orange flute
Toora loo, toora lay, oh it's six miles from Bangor to Donaghadee
At the chapel on sunday to atone for past deeds
Said Paters and Aves and counted his beads
Till after some time at the priest's own desire
Bob went with the old flute to play in the choir
He went with the old flute for to play in the mass
But the instrument shivered and sighed, oh alas
And try though he would, though it made a great noise
The flute would play only "The Protestant Boys"
Toora loo, toora lay, oh it's six miles from Bangor to Donaghadee
At the council of priests that was held the next day
They decided to banish the old flute away
They couldn't knock heresy out of its head
So they bought Bob a new one to play in its stead
Now the old flute was doomed and its fate was pathetic
'Twas fastened and burned at the stake as heretic
As the flames soared around it they heard a queer noise
'Twas the old flute still playing "The Protestant Boys"
Toora loo, toora lay, oh it's six miles from Bangor to Donaghadee

I've often wondered if "Toora loo, toora lay", could be compared to our:
"tralala tralala"?
I also wonder how the French would translate it :)

THE SASH MY FATHER WORE
Sure l'm an Ulster Orangeman, from Erin's isle I came,
To see my British brethren all of honour and of fame,
And to tell them of my forefathers who fought in days of yore,
That I might have the right to wear, the sash my father wore!
cho: It is old but it is beautiful, and its colors they are fine

Well I couldn't find that one, but I did find another parody ...
Hash My Father Scored
(Michael A. Patterson)
It was gold and it was beautiful and it cost 2 pence a gram
He scored it on the ferry coming back from Amsterdam
He said it's just like Lebanese from the bygone days of yore
And when I can I like to smoke the hash my father scored
That green grass and resin so fine
It gives you a feeling divine
It would raise both the dying and the living
That green grass and resin so fine.
When my father died he left to me his house and all his tin
I opened the Good book and found a Kilo stashed within
And now when I'm unhappy and sometimes when I'm bored
I light a spliff in memory of the hash my father scored
That green grass and resin so fine
It gives you a feeling divine
It would raise both the dying and the living
That green grass and resin so fine.
But now the years have passed and gone and all that hash has flown
You can't get stuff like that these days I've even tried home-grown
But I can still remember how upward I have soared
Outflying British Airways on the hash my father scored
That green grass and resin so fine
It gives you a feeling divine
It would raise both the dying and the living
That green grass and resin so fine.
It was gold and it was beautiful and it cost 2 pence a gram
He scored it on the ferry coming back from Amsterdam
He said it's just like Lebanese from the bygone days of yore
And when I can I like to smoke the hash my father scored
Tune: the Sash my father wore

If it's the same one I'm thinking of Ray then it was supposedly written in
the 1950s partly as a protest of Lizzie taking the title Queen Elizabeth II
as of course neither Britain, or the UK as a whole, has ever had a Queen
Elizabeth I. It is to the tune of the Orange song "The Sash My Father
Wore". I'm not much
use though as I only know a snippet.
Scotland hasnae got a king
An she hasnae got a queen,
How can there be a second Liz
When the first yin hasnae been?
Then of course there's the version of the national anthem sung at Paradise
God save our gracious queen
She makes the best ice-cream
God save our queen
It's short and sweet and surprisingly free from cursing for an Old Firm
favourite :-)
