just-imagine-if.blogspot.com Drumcree Church is the parish church of Drumcree, a rural Church of Ireland parish to the north of Portadown in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. In recent times it has become noted for the Orange Order service held annually on the Sunday before 12 July. The service, or more precisely the Orangemen's parade both to and from the service and the reaction of the community on Garvaghy Road, has been the catalyst for sectarian unrest between the Protestant paraders and the Catholic residents of the area. This version of the Fields of Athenry tells how the Orange scum WILL NEVER MARCH DOWN GARVAGHY ROAD EVER !!!! On a lonely Drumcree hill Ten thousand Orangemen are waiting. They want to walk the streets of Portadown Their sashes and their flutes Their bowler hats and suits But they'll not be marching down Garvaghy Road Low lie the fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly. "Hey baby let the free birds fly!" It's plain for us to see Take your tents up to Drumcree Because you'll not be marching down Garvaghy Road By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling Michael they are taking you away. For you stole Trevelyn's corn So the young might see the morn But they'll still not be marching down Garvaghy Road Low lie the fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly.

Remember Blake Bergstrom? He's the guy who meant to say 'Pitch His Tents' while preaching a sermon, but it came out all wrong. This is a simple music video featuring his faux-pas put to music. Video was knocked together in an evening using Nero Premium. MP3 Download: www.steveweb.me.uk

With gratitude to "eddieedgar" www.youtube.com for his invaluable help All our meetings are paired with ensuing goodbyes. Quiet and sad is the rill by a lone amber pine, Diffident powder's enshrouding the coals of the fire - Everything's over, the time for departure is nigh. Heart's desire mine, Sunlight of the forest, Whereabouts next time Will I run across you? Tents folded up their wings - their flight is complete. Seeker of partings, the plane has already spread wings. Slowly the gangplank is backing away, off the ship. Looks like a fissure is gaping between us, indeed. Heart's desire mine, Sunlight of the forest, Whereabouts next time Will I run across you? Don't solace me - spare your words and stop wasting your time. If I located that rill by a lone amber pine, If all a sudden a fire should light through the mist, Fancy, if, close to the fire, be waiting for me Heart's desire mine, Sunlight of the forest, Whereabouts next time Will I run across you?
