To teach my flock, I never missed Kings are by God appointed And damned be he who dare resist or touch the Lord's annointed. cho: And this be law, I shall maintain Until my dying day, sir That whatsoever king may reign, Still I'll be the Vicar of Bray, sir. When royal James usurped the throne, and popery came in fashion, The penal laws I hooted down, and read the Declaration. The Church of Rome, I found, did fit Full well my constitution And I had been a Jesuit, but for the Revolution. cho: When William was our King declared, to ease the nation's grievance, With this new wind about I steered, and swore to him allegiance. Old principles I did revoke Set conscience at a distance, Passive obedience was a joke, a jest was non-resistance. cho: When Royal Anne became our queen, the Church of England's glory, Another face of things was seen, and I became a Tory. Occasional conformists base I blamed their moderation; And thought the Church in danger was from such prevarication. cho: When George in pudding time came o'er, and moderate men looked big, sir My principles I changed once more, and I became a Whig, sir. And thus preferment I procured From our new Faith's Defender, And almost every day abjured the Pope and the Pretender. cho: The illustrious house of Hanover and Protestant succession To these I do allegiance swear --- while they can hold possession. For in my faith and loyalty I never more will falter, And George my lawful king shall be --- until the times do alter. cho: Recorded by Dyer-Bennett @church @politics @England filename[ VICARBRY play.exe VICARBRY RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: W B A, Wabash Cannonball, Wagoners Lad, Wait For The Tide, Wait Till The Sun Shines Nellie, Wake Island, Wake Nicodemus, Wal I Swan Git Up Napoleon, Wales Anthem Text, Walk In Jerusalem, Walk In The Light, Walk On By Wait On The Corner, Walkin On My Wheels, Walking A Bulldog, Wall of Silence, Walls And Windows, Walls Have Ears, Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing With Bears, Waly Waly, Waly Waly Jamie Douglas, Wandering Angus, War Begets Poverty, War Song, Wars Of Germany, Waste Not Want Not, Water Is Wide, Waterbound, Waterloo, Waters Of Babylon, Waters Of March ?guas De Maro, Waters Of Tyne, Watkins Ale, Way Down In Dixie, Way I Behaved, Way Of Men, Ways Of Man, We Are Called The Girl Scouts, We Are The Roving Minstrels, We Be Soldiers Three, We Be Three Poor Mariners, We Have Fed Our Sea For A Thousand Years, We Have Fed You All For A Thousand Years, We Never Mention Aunt Clara, We Parted On The Shore, We Pity Our Bosses Five, We Rigged Our Ship, We Set Sail, We Shall Overcome, We Three Kings, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
