The lyrics I meant are almost the same as those in BRAVE WOLFE or THE BATTLE OF QUEBEC in this DT. The first and second verses are a bit different as below.

1. Come, all you old men all,
Let this delight you;
Come, all you young men all,
Let naught affright you.
Nor let your courage fail
When comes the trial.
Nor do not be dismayed
At the first denial.

2. 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 ny mind
While I was with her.

3. "Love, here's a diamond ring,
Long time I've kept it.
All for you sake alone,
If you'll accept it.
When you this token view,
Think on the giver;
Madame, remember me,
Or I'm undone forever."

4. 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.

I have heard that the lyrics were collected by Elisabeth Greenleaf in Newfoundland in 1929.
