CANADA The Bold Canadian (English 英文 English) Come all ye bold Canadians, I'll have you lend an ear Concerning a fine ditty that Would make your courage cheer. Concerning an engagement that We had at Sandwich town, The courage of those Yankee boys So lately we pulled down. There was a bold commander, General Brock by name. Took shipping at Niagara And down to York he came. He said: ¡°My valiant heroes, If forward you would steer, We'll fight against those Yankee With either dread or fear.¡± We travelled all that night and a part of the next day, With a determination to show them British play. We travelled all that night and a part of the next day, With a determination To conquer or to die. Our commander sent a flag to them, And unto them did say: ¡°Deliver up your garrison Or we'll fire on you this day.¡± But they would not surrender, They chose to stand their ground We opened up our great guns And gave them fire all around. Their commander sent a flag to us, For quarter he did call. "Oh, Hold your guns, British boys, For fear you slay us all. Our town you have at your command Our garrison likewise.¡± They brought their arms and grounded Them right down before our eyes. And now we are all home again, Each man is safe and sound. May the memory of this conquest All through the province sound. Success unto our volunteers who did their rights maintain, And to our bold commander, General Brock by name.
