English Song about Glorious Revolution - «Lillibullero»

[@TheThundertaker]

This sounds like it was a soundtrack in a Hollywood movie made before the 1960s.

Lillibullero (Pro-Jacobite Version)
Verse 1
Hey, Brother Teague, be of good cheer,
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la,
For James our king will soon be here,
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la.
The Dutchman's cause shall surely fail,
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la,
And Catholic James will soon prevail,
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la.
Chorus
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la,
James is our king and faith is our law,
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la,
James is our king and faith is our law.
Verse 2
Hey, Brother Teague, stand tall and fight,
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la,
For James will bring the day to light,
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la.
He’ll drive the heretics from our shore,
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la,
And reign as king forevermore,
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la.
Chorus
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la,
James is our king and faith is our law,
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la,
James is our king and faith is our law.
Verse 3
Hey, Brother Teague, the crown is right,
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la,
In James’s hands, both strong and bright,
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la.
No Dutch pretender shall hold sway,
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la,
The true king leads us all the way,
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la.
Chorus
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la,
James is our king and faith is our law,
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la,
James is our king and faith is our law.
Verse 4
Hey, Brother Teague, hold fast and true,
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la,
For Catholic hearts will see us through,
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la.
The Whigs may try, but they shall fall,
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la,
For James and Rome will rule us all,
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la.
Chorus
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la,
James is our king and faith is our law,
Lillibullero, bullen-a-la,
James is our king and faith is our law.

[@Georgieastra]

Cromwell was a hero to the Founding Fathers.
One of the first US warships was named after Cromwell.
If you go to the Thomas Jefferson Museum at Monticello you can see Oliver Cromwell's death mask which Jefferson kept as mark of his admiration for Cromwell

[@Brookigetit]

Damn they called a king a dog wouldn’t that warrant execution?

[@loandbaxhuku9617]

The song was so popular that James' own guards outside his bedroom whistled it, one of the many reasons he knew he had no chance if he stayed and fought.
