[Verse 1]
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 my mind while I was with her

[Verse 2]
"Love, here's a diamond ring, long time I've kept it
All for your sake alone if you'll accept it
When you this token view, think on the giver
Madam, remember me or I'm undone forever"

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
Montcalm and this brave youth together walked
On the Plains of Abraham like brothers talked
'Til each one took his post and did retire
'Twas then these numerous hosts commenced their fire

[Verse 5]
The drums did loudly beat with colors flying
The purple gore did stream, and men lay dying
Then shot from off his horse fell that brave hero
We'll long lament his loss that day in sorrow
[Verse 6]
He raised up his head where the guns did rattle
And to his aide he said, "How goes the battle?"
"Quebec is all our own, they can't prevent it"
He said without a groan, "I die contented"
