ST VINCENT'S DAY

January 22nd, Old Style.

February 3rd, New Style.

Remember in St Vincent's day

If the sun his beams display,

'Tis a token, bright and clear,

That you will have a prosperous year.

Remember, remember,

The fifth of November,

Gunpowder treason and plot,

I hope that night will never be forgot.

The king and his train

Had like to be slain;

Thirty-six barrels of gunpowder

Set below London to blow London up!

Holla boys! Holla boys!

Let the bells ring!

Holla boys! Holla boys!

God save the King!

A stick or a stake

For Victoria's sake,

And pray ye remember the bonfire night.
