rogers stan - Macdonnell On The Heights слова песни

[Another unsung hero of Canadian history . . . The texts give a terribly sparseaccounting of this man. He was a Major under Brock, and apparently not a verypopular one. He was one of those "good young men" form the "right" kind offamily with the "right" kind of gentleman`s education, a law practise and teear of influential people of the day. there`s nothing to indicate he was not adecent sort, but somebody writing up the accounts didn`t want too much of theglory to be taken from the General! Perhaps this is one way of vindicating thehistorical vagaries of this nation. It gives me no small amount ofsatisfaction to think that more people will know that there`s more than justBrock under that huge stone monument.]Too thin the line that charged the HeightsAnd scrambled in the clay.Too thin the Eastern Township ScotWho showed them all the way,And perhaps had you not fallen,You might be what Brock becameBut not one in ten thousand knows your name.To say the name, MacDonnell,It would bring no bugle callBut the Redcoats stayed beside youWhen they saw the General fall.Twas MacDonnell raised the banner thenAnd set the Heights aflame,But not one in ten thousand knows your name.You brought the field all standing with your courage and your luckBut unknown to most, you`re lying there beside old General Brock.So you know what it is to scale the Heights and fall just short of fameAnd have not one in ten thousand know your name.At Queenston now, the General on his tower stands aloneAnd there`s lichen on `MacDonnell` carved upon that weathered stoneIn 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 luckBut unknown to most, you`re lying there beside old General Brock.So you know what it is to scale the Heights and fall just short of fameAnd have not one in ten thousand know your name.
