OUr Royall King William to Flanders is gon, God give him a blessing from thence to Return, And make the proud French-men submit to his Will, That Protestants Blood never more may be spill'd: Then the Heavens protect our Sovereign King, And to send him safe Home from Flanders again.
Our brave Noble Lords with our King they did go, And will venture their lives to bring down that great Foe; Proud Lewis of France they will make him to fear, When our Royal King William he then shall come near. Then the Heavens protect our Sovereign King, And to send him safe Home from Flanders again.
Methinks I do hear our Royal King say, Fight on my brave Souldiers and never run away, Whilst I have one drop of Blood I will fight, To maintain the Laws of Old Englands right: Against all my foes that dare me with-stand, And caus'd me to come now from fair England. Come all you brave English and Dutch-men let's go, To fight for the King, and to bring down his great foe, Let it never be said that wee dare not fight, To maintain the cause of the Protestants right: Then Boys let us fight with our Courage so free, To pull down the French and the pride of popery. The brave Noble Commanders that in Flanders be, Pray God give them power o'er their Enemy, That God would be pleas'd unto the land bring, Peace, Joy and Triumph, under William our King, then the Heavens protect our Sovereign King, etc. How many poor Souls in Montz has been lost, And all by the French-men they have been so crost, But had not proud Lewis shot Gold in the Town, There many more French-men had fell to the ground, then the Heavens protect our Sovereign King, etc. With our Swords in our hands brave Boys we will go, And fully resolve to pull down that great foe; Proud Lewis we will make thee for to rue the day, That ever in Montz you first bore the sway: To hire the Priests for to Let you come in, But the Heavens long prosper great William our King. At the head of our Army King William will stand, Who fights for Religion, and the Laws of the land, Be you true to the King, and he will stand by you, For to give all the French-men their due: then the Heavens protect our Sovereign King, etc. Now King William is there how the Drums they do play, We'll fight till we dye, and ne're run away; Against all the French-men that will not yeild, We'll dye on the spot before We'll lose the field; Then the heavens protect our Soveraign King, And send him safe Home from Flanders again.
