The Siegue of Quebec

it's a starry night in 1759
as we hug the trail up the heights of Abraham
and we march ahead
little soldier boys
i'm told it'll all make sense
somehow, somewhere, some time

as we scale the cliffs and the steep ravines
it's only you who's on my mind
and to our baby child back in London town
these few words
a way to you i pray they'll find

so teach our children well
let them know it's here we fell
to fight for god
to save our necks
in the siege of Quebec

when the morning comes and the city falls
four thousand scared and tired boys will lead the charge
but just one bullet's jest could prove the fatal flaw
hear how the battle cries drown out those marching drums

so teach your children well
let them know it's here we fell
to fight for our king
and what comes next
in the siege of Quebec
so teach your children well
let them know it's here we fell
to fight for love
to save our necks
in the siege of Quebec
