The Ballad of Cpl. Hornburg

The Real McKenzies

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
