[Verse 1]
In good King Charles's golden days
When Loyalty no harm meant;
A Zealous High-Church man I was
And so I gain'd Preferment
Unto my Flock I daily Preach'd
Kings are by God appointed
And Damn'd are those who dare resist
Or touch the Lord's Anointed
[Chorus]
And this is law I will maintain
Unto my dying day, Sir
That whatsoever King may reign
I will be the Vicar of Bray, Sir!
[Verse 2]
When Royal James possessed the crown
And popery grew in fashion;
The Penal Law I shouted down
And read the Declaration
The Church of Rome I found would fit
Full well my Constitution
And I had been a Jesuit
But for the Revolution
In good King Charles's golden days
When Loyalty no harm meant;
A Zealous High-Church man I was
And so I gain'd Preferment
Unto my Flock I daily Preach'd
Kings are by God appointed
And Damn'd are those who dare resist
Or touch the Lord's Anointed
[Chorus]
And this is law I will maintain
Unto my dying day, Sir
That whatsoever King may reign
I will be the Vicar of Bray, Sir!
[Verse 2]
When Royal James possessed the crown
And popery grew in fashion;
The Penal Law I shouted down
And read the Declaration
The Church of Rome I found would fit
Full well my Constitution
And I had been a Jesuit
But for the Revolution
