then let the louns beware, sir;

there's wooden walls upon our seas,

and volunteers on shore, sir:

the nith shall run to corsincon,

and criffel sink in solway,

ere we permit a foreign foe

on british ground to rally!

we'll ne'er permit a foreign foe

on british ground to rally!

o let us not, like snarling curs,

in wrangling be divided,

for never but by british hands

maun british wrangs be righted!

no! never but by british hands

and the wretch, his true-born brother,

who would set the mob aboon the throne,

but while we sing “god save the king,”

we'll ne'er forget the people!
