The Orange and The Green

The Unicorn Song

Don Bunch used to sing this at Mo and O'Malleys...silly song. I think I still remember the hand gestures.

A traditional finishing song from the High Kings. The biggest of these 4 guys is actually Finnbar Clancy, the son of Bobby Clancy from the Clancy Brothers.

As a person of Scots ancestry, this is a soul-stirring song done by the greatest Irish entertainers ever!

Four Green Fields
