| [00:09.388] |
Cheer up your hearts young men let nothing fright you |
| [00:16.883] |
Be of a gallant mind, let that delight you; |
| [00:24.983] |
Let not your courage fail till after trial, |
| [00:32.488] |
Nor let your fancy move at the first denial. |
| [00:41.152] |
One day a gallant youth did crosa the ocean, |
| [00:48.822] |
To free America from her invasion |
| [00:57.040] |
He landed at Quebec with all his party, |
| [01:04.405] |
The city to attack, both brave end hcarty |
| [01:22.988] |
Brave Wolf drew up his men in form most pretty, |
| [01:28.351] |
On the plains of Abraham, before the city; |
| [01:36.414] |
There just before the town the French did meet them |
| [01:44.770] |
With double numbers they resolv'd to beat them |
| [01:53.136] |
Each man then took his post at their retire, |
| [02:00.029] |
So then these numerous hosts began to fire: |
| [02:08.649] |
The cannon on each side did roar like thunder, |
| [02:16.142] |
And youths in all their pride were tora asunder |
| [02:24.463] |
The drams did loudly beat, colors were fying |
| [02:32.228] |
The purple gore did stream and men lay dying ; |
| [02:39.885] |
When shot from off his horse, fell this breve hero, |
| [02:47.980] |
And we lement his loss in weeds of sorrow. |
| [03:29.504] |
The French hegan to break, their ranks were flying, |
| [03:35.033] |
Brave Wolf then seem'd to wake as he lay dying: |
| [03:42.965] |
He lifted up his head while guns did rattle, |
| [03:51.330] |
And to his army said, how goes the battle ? |
| [03:59.975] |
His aid-de-camp reply'd 'tis in our favor, |
| [04:06.962] |
Quebec with all her pride, we soon shall have her; |
| [04:14.947] |
She'll fall into our hands, with all her treasure, |
| [04:24.362] |
O then reply'd brave Wolf, I die with pleasure. |
