The Baron of Maherafelt

Willie McCrea said ”You know not the day,
You know not the minute nor hour!”
His Orange was bitter, he was a big hitter
And all of his sermons were dour.

He’d a down on each Taig, that he got straight from Craig
He’d a hole that was deeper than hell,
A place for RCs, with shit up to their knees —
And his Calvin, He learned from Charles Bell.

Chorus
So, lets hear it for Willie, the scion of King Billy,
Who ate Free State sausage and ham,
But turned up his nose to the Rosary’s prose  —
For them Fenians he’d not give a damn!

His accordion was loud, of its noise he was proud
As he pumped out them hymns of the Cross;
But the teachings of Christ, they were not his first choice,
And his sash let you know who was boss.

When he got near a mike he was up on his bike
And his Paulo Soprani would thunder,
With its 120 bass, he has egg on his face
It was ‘Roman’  — is there any wonder?

Chorus
So, lets hear it for Willie, the scion of King Billy,
Who ate Free State sausage and ham
But turned up his nose to the Rosary’s prose  —
For them Fenians he’d not give a damn!

Now a Baron he’s made, for that honour he’s prayed
For its just what the Lord wants to see;
For that august conclave, of the Wright stuff he’s made
Willie’s Orange, and Black, and he’s Free!

When that last day should come will he whimper or hum?
Will he call for his box to give praise?
When he hears the tum tum of the ’ole Lambeg drum
And the Pope a Te Deum will raise!

Chorus
So, lets hear it for Willie, the scion of King Billy,
Who ate Free State sausage and ham
But turned up his nose to the Rosary’s prose  —
For them Fenians he’d not give a damn!
