The King |
| Joy, health, love, and peace be all here in this place |
| By your leave, we will sing concerning our king |
| Our king is well dressed, in the silks of the best |
| In ribbons so rare, no king can compare |
| We have travelled many miles, over hedges and stiles |
| In search of our king, unto you we bring |
| We have powder and shot to conquer the lot |
| We have cannon and ball to conquer them all |
| Old Christmas is past, twelve tide is the last |
| And we bid you adieu, great joy to the new |
