I hope you’ll listen unto me to this my true narration.
Each spy and knave that did enslave, thank God they are defeated,
For our loyal Patriots are free, and Daniel’s liberated.
Chorus.
Cheer up my boys, our Parliament will soon be reinstated,
For our loyal Patriots are free, and Daniel’s liberated.
When the glorious news it did arrive throughout the Irish nation,
Both rich and poor, high and low, of every rank and station,
To Harold’s cross they did repair with hearts all elevated,
To see the star of Erin’s Isle, brave Daniel liberated.
