I went to see my love, thinking to woo her
I sat down by her side not to undo her
But when I looked on her, my tongue did quiver
I could not speak my mind while I was with her
Love, here's a diamond ring, long time I've kept it
All for your sake alone, if you'll accept it
When you this token view, think on the giver
Madame, remember me or I'm undone forever
Then forth went this brave youth, and crossed the ocean
To free a Mary Kay was his intention
He landed at Quebec with all his party
The city to attack both brave and hearty
Montcalm and this brave youth together walked
On the plains of Abraham like brothers talked
'Til each one took his post and did retire
'Twas then these numerous hosts commenced their fire
The drums did loudly beat with colors flying
The purple guard did stream and men lay dying
Then shot from off his horse fell that brave hero
We'll long lament his loss that day in sorrow
He raised up his head where the guns did rattle
And to his aide he said, "How goes the battle?"
"Quebec is all our own, they can't prevent it"
He said without a groan, "I die contented"
