- (continued from previous page)248ContinuedThey are fifteen hundred years too late
It leaves them in the dark
It was from Harry they took their date
But Luther is their mark
John Bull cannot deprive us
now he's gone too far astray
oh, no England wont bribe us
She no longer have her way
Think on the battle of Vinegar Hill
at Oulart and at Ross
Although our numbers were but few
Its sone we felt the loss
Only for what liquor that we drank
Which stretched us all lying dead
We would slained the town of Ross that day
Or banished England's Red.Our church is built on a solid rock
That never can give way
It is headed by St Peter there
Until the judgement day.
But the Orange on a sandy bank
Down into hell will slide
And before they will disgrace Luther
They'll be burning by his side(continues on next page)
