Thread Name: MacDonald or McDonald
Subject: RE: MacDonald or McDonald
Can you give us any more info--where you heard it, sung by who, subject matter/style, whether you think it is an old song or contemporary, any memorable lines from the lyrics? That's just not much to go on, doesn't ring any bells with me.

Only thing that comes remotely to mind is Stan Rogers' "MacDonnell On The Heights":

"Twas MacDonnell raised the banner then and set the Heights aflame
But now not one in ten thousand knows your name."

It's about the Battle of Queensland Heights near Niagara Falls, during the War of 1812.
