 Too / thin the line that / charged the Heights, and

Scrambled in the / clay.

 Too / thin the Eastern / Township Scot

 Who / showed them all the / way, and

 Per - / haps had you not / fallen,

 You might / be what Brock be - / came,

 But not / one in ten / thousand knows your / name. / /

 To / say the name, Mac - / donnell,

 It would / bring no bugle / call,

 But the / Redcoats stayed be - / side you,

 When they / saw the General / fall.

 Twas Mac- / donnell raised the / banner then, and

Set the Heights a - / flame,

 But not / one in ten / thousand knows your /name. / /

Chorus

 You / brought the field all / standing

 With your / courage and your / luck,

 But un- / known to most, you're / lying there

 Be - / side old General / Brock.

 So you know / what it is to / scale the Heights, and

Fall just short of / fame, and

 Have not / one in ten / thousand know your / name. / /

Chorus instrumental

 At / Queenston now, the / General,

 On his / tower stands a - / lone, and

 There's / lichen on "Mac - / donnell,"

 Carved up - / on that weathered / stone.

 In a / corner of the / monument,

 To / glory you could / claim,

 But not / one in ten / thousand knows your / name.

 You / brought the field all / standing,

 With your / courage and your / luck,

 But un- / known to most, you're / lying there,

 Be - / side old General / Brock.

 So you know / what it is to / scale the Heights, and

Fall just short of / fame, and

 Have not / one in ten / thousand know your / name. / /
