Letra de la canción 'MAC DONNELL ON THE HEIGHTS' de 'STAN ROGERS'

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 perhaps had you not fallen,
you might be what brock became
but not one in ten thousand knows your name.
To say the name, macdonnell,
it would bring no bugle call
but the redcoats stayed beside you
when they saw the general fall.
twas macdonnell raised the banner then
and set the heights aflame,
but not one in ten thousand knows your name.
You brought the field all standing with your courage and your luck
but unknown to most, youand're lying there beside 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.
At queenston now, the general on his tower stands alone
and thereand's lichen on and'macdonnelland' carved upon 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 unknown to most, youand're lying there beside 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.
