    	    	Вступление

[Verse 1]
     G            C
Twas on July the twenty-eighth
               G
In the year of thirty-seven,
   G             C
A fire was lit without a grate
       G       D               G
And the flames leaped high to heaven.
G
Well the King and Queen came sailing down
         D            G
With the Lough in the finest order
  G                       C
And we welcomed them to Belfast town
     G         D      G
With a bonfire on the Border.

[Verse 2]
     G                              C
Oh the Queen put a muffler round her neck
                D   G
Assisted by her wee men,
    G
And the King walked up and down the deck
  G              D  G
Surrounded by his G-men.
G
He asked "What is that glare I see?"
G                  D  G
The reply was there in order:
 G          C
"It´s Ireland united in loyalty
     G          D      G
With a bonfire on the Border !"

[Verse 3]
G                        C
Some say the spark came from Tír Eoghain  
      G
Some say it was Tír Chónaill,
G
But a County Down man said it lit on its own
   G                D     G
The combustion being spontaneous.
G
A lad who loved the King and Queen
G                  D  G
Who stood for Law and Order,
G          C
Says the flames were Orange, White and Green
     G          D      G
In that bonfire on the Border.

[Verse 4]
G                        C
They may prance and dance in Belfast Town,
      G
They may croon ´Whereas´ in Dublin;
G
They may sever the Empire from the Crown,
   G              D           G
But they might as well not be troublin´
G
Neither Lay Tribunal nor Legal Bench,
G                  D  G
Nor turnkey, tout or warder,
G          C
Nor all the Boyne water can ever quench
     G          D      G
That bonfire on the Border!


[Verse 5]
G                        C
Here´s to the lads that played the game,
      G
Here´s to the minds that planned it,
G
Here´s to the hands that lit the flame,
                D          G
Here´s to the winds that fanned it:
G
May it blaze again from shore to shore
G                  D  G
Consuming our land´s disorder:
G          C 
May it leap and roar from shore to shore
     G          D      G
Till it burns away the Border!
