invade us<br /> Was to kill and to destroy<br /> To distress our wives and children<br /> And cause us much annoy.<br /> <br /> Our countrymen were filled<br /> With sorrow, grief and woe<br /> To think that they would fall<br /> By an unnatural foe.<br /> <br /> At length our bold commander<br /> Sir Isaac Brock by name<br /> Took shipping at Niagara<br /> And unto York he came.<br /> <br /> He said: "My valiant heroes,<br /> Will you go along with me<br /> To fight those Yankee boys<br /> In the west of Canady."<br /> <br /> "O yes," we all replied,<br /> "We'll go along with you<br /> Our knapsacks on our back<br /> And make no more ado."<br /> <br /> Our fire-locks then we shouldered<br /> And straight we marched away<br /> With firm determination<br /> To shew them British play.<br /> <br /> Yes our fire-locks we shouldered<br /> Forward our course to steer<br /> To meet and fight the invader<br /> With neither dread nor fear.<br /> <br /> At Sandwich we arrived<br /> Each man with his supply<br /> With bold determination<br /> To conquer or to die.<br /> <br /> Our general sent a flag<br /> And thus to them did say:<br /> "Surrender now your garrison<br /> Or I'll fire on you this day."<br /> <br /> Our troops then marched over<br /> Our artillery we did land<br /> And marched straight upon their town<br /> Like an undaunted band.<br /> <br /> They refused to surrender<br /> They chose to stand their ground<br /> We opened then our guns<br /> And gave them fire all around.<br /> <br /> The Yankee boys began to fear<br /> And their blood to run cold<br /> To see us marching forward<br /> So courageous and bold.<br /> <br /> Their general sent a flag of truce<br /> For quarter then they call:<br /> "Hold your hand, brave British boys,<br /> I fear you'll slay us all."<br /> <br /> "Our town is at your command<br /> Our garrison likewise."<br /> They brought their arms and grounded them<br /> Right down before our eyes.<br /> <br /> And they were all made prisoners<br /> On board of ship they went<br /> And from the town of Sandwich<br /> To Quebec they were sent.<br /> <br /> We guarded them from Sandwich<br /> Safe down unto Fort George<br /> And them within the town of York<br /> So safely we did lodge.<br /> <br /> And we're arrived at home<br /> Each man without a wound<br /> And the fame of this great conquest<br /> Will through the province sound.<br /> <br /> Success unto the volunteers<br /> Who thus their rights maintain<br /> Lifewise their bold commander<br /> Sir Isaac Brock by name.<br /> <br /> And being all united<br /> This is the song we'll sing<br /> Success unto Great Britain<br /> And may God Save the King. </p> </div></blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2
