Cheer up your hearts young men let nothing fright you Be of a gallant mind, let that delight you; Let not your courage fail till after trial, Nor let your fancy move at the first denial. One day a gallant youth did crosa the ocean, To free America from her invasion He landed at Quebec with all his party, The city to attack, both brave end hcarty Brave Wolf drew up his men in form most pretty, On the plains of Abraham, before the city; There just before the town the French did meet them With double numbers they resolv'd to beat them Each man then took his post at their retire, The cannon on each side did roar like thunder, And youths in all their pride were tora asunder The drams did loudly beat, colors were fying The purple gore did stream and men lay dying ; When shot from off his horse, fell this breve hero, And we lement his loss in weeds of sorrow. The French hegan to break, their ranks were flying, He lifted up his head while guns did rattle, And to his army said, how goes the battle ? His aid-de-camp reply'd 'tis in our favor, Quebec with all her pride, we soon shall have her; She'll fall into our hands, with all her treasure, O then reply'd brave Wolf, I die with pleasure.
