Battle of the Windmill (Tune: The Girl I Left Behind Me) On Tuesday morning we marched out In command of Colonel Fraser With swords and bayonets of polished steel As keen as any razor. Unto the Windmill plains we went We gave them three loud cheers To let them know that day below We're the Prescott Volunteers. Oh, we're the boys that feared no noise When the cannons loud did roar We cut the rebels left and right When they landed on our shore. Brave Macdonall nobly led His men into the field; They did not flinch, no, not an inch Till the rebels had to yield. He swung his sword right round his head Saying, "Glengarrys follow me, We'll gain the day without delay, And that you'll plainly see!" The rebels now remain at home, We wish that they would come We'd cut them up, both day and night, By command of Colonel Young. If e'er they dare return again They'd see what we can do; We'll show them British play, my boys, As we did at Waterloo. Under Colonel Jessup we will fight, Let him go where he will; With powder and ball they'll surely fall As they did at the Windmill. If I were like great Virgil bright I would employ my quill; I would write both day and night Concerning the Windmill. Lest to intrude I will conclude And finish off my song, We'll pay a visit to Ogdensburg And that before it's long!
