Thank you , CrankyYankee for the words to the 4th verse of SSB. I assume that by the 3rd verse, the British couldn't stand the highpitched shrieking, and, assuming that another bombardment was beginning, went home.

Canada never had any Wars of Independence. We sent the Americans home with their tails between their legs in 1775, and they only pestered us a few times more. We spent much of the next 100 years rescuing black slaves from the land of the free and the home of the brave.

yours, Peter T.
