And our eloquent leader utters
A protest for you and me.
Oh, well for Midlothian's sons
That they shout with him in the fray,
Oh, well for our British lads,
For we know he will gain us the day.
And the Franchise war goes on,
Though the Lords would have us be still;
But, O for our triumph, thou Grand Old Man,
When the people have their bill.
