We are scarcely one to seven	A
But our cause is just	B
Help us in our trial heaven	A
Keep the ford we must	B
	-
Swiftly through the reeds and rushes	C
Pours the Outarde flood	D
Turned by sunset's rosy flushes	E
To a stream of blood	D
	-
Sprinkled with the hues of slaughter	F
Wave the forest trees	G
Gently o'er the sparkling water	F
In the autumn breeze	G
	-
Strange that Nature should remind us	H
Of the coming fight	I
Let it come it will but find us	H
Battling for the right	I
	-
Never shall the land that gave us	H
Birth be held a thrall	J
Ere the Stars and Stripes enslave us	H
Death shall have us all	J
	-
Quickly in this silent dingle	K
Raise the abatis	H
Near where Outarde waters mingle	K
With the Chateauguay	L
	-
Hasten Night across the meadows	H
Kiss the streams to sleep	M
Wrap us in thy cloak of shadows	H
Bid the stars not peep	M
	-
Night has passed the birds awaking	L
Greet the dawning day	N
Wherefore are our foemen making	L
Such a long delay	N
	-
Hark at last they come now steady	O
Wait the signal gun	A
When I fire fire you Now ready	O
Fire Ah lads well done	A
	-
Like a vaulted wave that shatters	H
On a rocky coast	P
And in mist and salt spray scatters	H
Breaks the mighty host	P
	-
Like the wave that swift returning	L
Bursts upon the strand	Q
Falls the foe with hatred burning	L
On our little band	Q
	-
We are scarcely one to seven	A
But our cause is just	B
Help us in our trial heaven	A
Keep the ford we must	B
	-
Fall the shot clipped leaves about us	H
Like the summer rain	R
Charge the bitter foes to rout us	H
Ever and again	S
	-
Quarter never asked nor given	A
Still we beat them back	L
Though our slender ranks are riven	A
With each fierce attack	L
	-
Long the fearful battle rages	H
Death his harvest reaps	H
He will live in history's pages	H
In the grave who sleeps	H
	-
Round us stronger ever stronger	F
Sweeps the hostile horde	T
If the strife continue longer	F
We shall lose the ford	T
	-
We are scarcely one to seven	A
But our cause is just	B
Help us in our trial heaven	A
Keep the ford we must	B
	-
Hope The fox when worn with running	L
Subtlety must use	H
Let us strive to win by cunning	L
What by force we lose	H
	-
Bugler seek the forest border	F
Whence our friends should come	U
For attack sound loud the order	F
Beat upon the drum	U
	-
So our foes may think in error	F
That our friends are nigh	V
And disturbed by sudden terror	F
From the conflict fly	V
	-
Through the wood the bugler dashes	H
Far beyond the fray	N
While the deadly musket flashes	H
Point him on his way	N
	-
Faintly o'er the din of battle	K
On the ear there fall	J
From afar a drum's sharp rattle	K
And a bugle call	J
	-
Through the forest drawing nearer	F
Ring the bugle notes	H
And the drum beat quicker clearer	F
On the calm air floats	H
	-
Cheer my lads and cease from firing	L
Sheathe the blood stained sword	T
For our foemen are retiring	L
We have kept the ford	T
