Bold General Wolfe to his men did say
"Come lads and follow without delay
To yonder mountain that is so high
Don't be down-hearted for we'll gain the victory"
We saw the French on the summit high
While we poor souls in the valley lie
We watched them drop like motes in the sun
Through smoke and fire, through smoke and fire
All from our British guns
And the first broadside that the French did give us
It wound our general, it is right breast
Yonder he lies for he cannot stand
Yet fight on boldly, yet fight on boldly
While I live I'll have the command
Here is my treasure lies all in gold
Take it and part it for my life's quite gold
Take it and part it brave Wolfe did say
You lads of honour, you lads of honour
Since we did win the day
And when to England you do return
Tell all my friends I am dead and gone
And bid my tender old mother dear
No tears to shed for me, no tears to shed for me
Since we did win the day
