    We want no Popish tyrant priest
    To guide us on our way;
    We know not how to count the heads,
    Such trach we throw away.
    To idols dumb and gods of stone
    We'll never bend the knee;
    No say confession in the dark-
    Our consciences are free.
    Go tell the world from pole to pole,
    Proclaim it far and near,
    That Ulster's Sons united stand,
    Without one doubt or fear,
    Go, tell the world our rights we'll guard,
    'Gainst every Popish Schemer,
    We own no laws by Britain's Laws,
    No Sovereign but our King.
