Billy Craven's a gentleman every inch He's honest at core & he never will flinch And tho I say't that should not, the world I'll defy To say as how black is the white of his eye

Confusion to those that wear yellow & red Or blue [knotts] with reading that cannot be read; From Craven & true blue then never let's sever So Craven true blue and Old England for ever
