William Henry Drummond - Canadian Forever
Work rating: Low

When our fathers crossed the ocean
    In the glorious days gone by,
  They breathed their deep emotion
    In many a tear and sigh--
  Tho` a brighter lay before them
  Than the old, old land that bore them
  And all the wide world knows now
    That land was Canada.

  So line up and try us,
  Whoever would deny us
  The freedom of our birthright
    And they`ll find us like a wall--
  For we are Canadian--Canadian forever,
    Canadian forever--Canadian over all.

  Our fathers came to win us
    This land beyond recall--
  And the same blood flows within us
    Of Briton, Celt, and Gaul--
  Keep alive each glowing ember
  Of our sireland, but remember
  Our country is Canadian
    Whatever may befall.

  So line up and try us,
  Whoever would deny us
  The freedom of our birthright
    And they’ll find us like a wall--
  For we are Canadian, Canadian forever,
    Canadian forever---Canadian over all.

  Who can blame them, who can blame us
    If we tell ourselves with pride
  How a thousand years to tame us
    The foe has often tried--
  And should e`er the Empire need us,
  She`ll require no chains to lead us,
  For we are Empire`s children--
    But Canadian over all.

  Then line up and try us,
  Whoever would deny us
  The freedom of our birthright
    And they’ll find us like a wall--
  For we are Canadian, Canadian forever,
    Canadian forever--Canadian over all!
