Brave Wolfe - Ian & Sylvia

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 America 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 walk-ed

On the plains of Abraham like brothers talk-ed

Till 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 gore 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 rais-ed up his head where the guns did rattle

And to his aid he said,"How goes the battle?"

«Quebec is all our own, they can’t prevent it»

He said without a groan, «I die contented»

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
