You're welcome to Despots, Dumourier; / You're welcome to Despots, Dumourier: / How does Dampiere do? / Ay, and Bournonville too? / Why did they not come along with you, Dumourier?

I will fight France with you, Dumourier; / I will fight France with you, Dumourier; / I will fight France with you, / I will take my chance with you; / By my soul, I'll dance with you, Dumourier.

Then let us fight about, Dumourier; / Then let us fight about, Dumourier; / Then let us fight about, / Till Freedom's spark be out, / Then we'll be damn'd, no doubt, Dumourier.
