And he will cut all de English throat

De law's on dere side and de divil knows what,

We'll hang Magna Carta demselves on a rope
Lilli burlero, bullen a la

And with his brave lads he's coming aboard,
Lilli burlero, bullen a la

Who all in France have taken a swear,

Dat day will have no Protestant heir,

Dat our land would be ruled by an ass and a dog,

Lilli burlero, bullen a la
For James is de dog and Tyrconnel's de ass,
