"The Protestant Boys", also known as "Lillibulero", "Lilly Bullery", "Bumpers are Flowing" and "Orange and Green Will Carry the Day" is an Irish (originally) and American jig or air in 6/8 time and G Major (Bayard, Jarman, O'Neill), D Major (Bayard, Levey) or A Major (Gunn, Kerr). The parts are played AB (most versions) or AABB (Gunn, Kerr/vol. 4). The tune, originally "Lillibulero", was associated by the Irish with the conquering English of William of Orange and was subsequently adopted by the Protestant Scots-Irish as a kind of patriotic anthem. Chappell and Simpson cite several 17th century broadsides of an anti-Catholic nature that could have been sung to the tune, all of which feature the phrase "Protestant Boys" prominently and recurrently. On the strength of this Bayard (1981) dates the version of this tune married to the title above from the late 1680's on. It was printed in Bayard's Dance to the Fiddle (1981), William Gunn's The Caledonian Repository of Music Adapted for the Bagpipes (1848), Jarman's Old Time Fiddlin' Tunes, Kerr's Merry Melodies, vol. 4 (c.1880’s), R.M. Levey's First Collection of the Dance Music of Ireland (1858), O'Neill's O’Neill’s Irish Music (1915) and O'Neill's Music of Ireland: 1850 Melodies (1903) . It was recorded The F&W String Band. Songs from Irish uprisings and rebellion in this collection are: "Bold Fenian Men" "Boulavogue" "The Boyne Water" "The Boys of Kilmichael" "Croppies Lie Down" "The Croppy Boy" "Kevin Barry" "The Old Orange Flute" "The Rising of the Moon" "The Wearing of the Green" "The Wind That Shakes the Barley"
