Текст The Real McKenzies — The Ballad of Cpl. Hornburg

Remember me, I’m the one
The nation’s fiercest son
The battle will be won
If my memory marches on

Remember me, I’m the man
My soul dwells in a foreign land
I can rest in peace
If you remember me

Remember me
The towers high, they knocked them down
So we put our boots onto their ground
So we poured our blood into their soil

Until our tears began to boil
Did we fight a battle just
We poured our blood into the dust
We tore our hearts despite the cost

Our memories won’t be lost
Remember me, I’m the one
The nation’s fiercest son
The battle will be won

If my memory marches on
Remember me, I’m the man
My soul dwells in a foreign land
I can rest in peace

If you remember me
Remember me
The king’s own, dispatch reports
He bled for Lord Strathcona’s horse

A battlefield in Panjwayi
Is where my body lay
I’m only one, I share the fate
Of 158

All were loved and lost
To the mother of the silver cross
Remember me, I’m the one
The nation’s fiercest son

The battle will be won
If my memory marches on
Remember me, I’m the man
My soul dwells in a foreign land

I can rest in peace
If you remember me
Remember me
