| I say that Roger Casement | B |
| Did what he had to do | B |

| Before the bench of Time | E |
| They turned a trick by forgery | A |

| Come Tom and Dick come all the troop | I |
| That cried it far and wide | B |
| Come from the forger and his desk | J |
| Desert the perjurer's side | B |

| Come speak your bit in public | K |
| That some amends be made | B |
| To this most gallant gentleman | D |
| That is in quicklime laid | B |
