The House of Orange (song)
- The House of Orange (song)
The House of Orange is a Stan Rogers song about The Troubles, in particular about fundraising for the combatants in Canada. The overall sentiment of the song is "a pox on both your houses". [cite web |title=The House of Orange Lyrics by Stan Rogers |url=http://www.actionext.com/names_s/stan_rogers_lyrics/the_house_of_orange.html |accessdate=2008-01-27] The 'House of Orange' mentioned in the song is the royal house of William III of England, who led the Protestant side of the Williamite war in Ireland. It is on his posthumous CD From Fresh Water. This is the last song written by Stan Rogers before his death, and arguably among his most lyrically evocative.
