In that cottage my father long dwelt,
 * Till call’d the proud foe to repel,

With a heart that each keen passion felt.
 * He bade his companions farewell;

While in distance he echo’d the sound,
 * A sound I shall ever deplore,
 * Farewell! Farewell!

Alas! I shall ne’er see him more.

Shouts of victory honour’d the day,
 * When bravely in battle he fell,

Far, far from his village away,
 * Where he bade his companions farewell,
 * While in distance, &c.

God save great George our king, Long live our noble king,
 * God save the king!

Send him victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us.
 * God save the king!

O Lord our God arise Scatter his enemies
 * And make them fall!
