Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBDBDBEBDBDBFBGB DBDBEBEBEBEBDBDBDBDB HBHB| Hail foes to oppression and lovers of freedom | A |
| Your day has arrived and your power you know | B |
| This host of timeservers I'm sure we don't need them | C |
| And we'll never support them O no my friends no | B |
| Their dodges and shuffles their threats and persuasions | D |
| Their schemes and devices so petty and low | B |
| Has made us determine on all such occasions | D |
| That we'll never support them O no my friends no | B |
| The victory they've lost after all their endeavours | D |
| To prop up their system though now 'tis laid low | B |
| We were not to be Gallied young Portland for ever | E |
| We would not surrender O no my friends no | B |
| They may try all they can with their creatures and flunkeys | D |
| We'll shout in derision at them as we go | B |
| We care not for N T nor his poor abject monkeys | D |
| And will not support them O no my friends no | B |
| Success to our Guardian our rights he's protected | F |
| While his ex Reverence Sandy has never done so | B |
| Being the tool of his Party our claims he's rejected | G |
| And shall we support him O no my friends no | B |
| 'Tag rag and bobtail' as the 'Herald' may term us | D |
| It's place among journals has always been low | B |
| Poor driveling rag let it never concern us | D |
| Neither let us be Byass'd O no my friends no | B |
| Poor plate licking dog let him follow his master | E |
| With fawning and wagging his tail to and fro | B |
| Through his growl or his bark we but go ahead faster | E |
| Then let us not blame him O no my friends no | B |
| O let's not forget this tenth day of September | E |
| When they thought to o'erawe us but it was 'no go' | B |
| We stood firm to our colors and secured our own Member | E |
| And shall we repent it O no my friends no | B |
| Send the news far and wide by every conveyance | D |
| Let them know right and left that we've struck the death blow | B |
| To the clique who kept all real good in abeyance | D |
| But no Moore shall oppress us O no my friends no | B |
| Praise Him by whom Princes and Kings hold their stations | D |
| Who as Judge of the earth does exalt and bring low | B |
| Who is ruler supreme over people and nations | D |
| May we never forsake Him O no my friends no | B |
| Long life to our Member May blessings surround him | H |
| In every direction where e'er he may go | B |
| And those of his foes who would wish to confound him | H |
| May they never be able O no my friends no | B |
