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.
